Together, Jim, April, and Kiah create a beautiful tapestry of sound to help take you deeply inward.  

And for this performance, deeply “under”: We will be using the gently psychedelic “Liquid Light” of Ryan Fenelon to transport the whole theater under water in blues and greens while images of undersea life and  submersed sounds will blend from the stage to really take you there.

Jim will be bringing his expansive gong array, and that , accompanied by Cello, Trumpet, Voice, and some surprises, will create an Atlantean blend of sonic vibrations never before experienced.

Jim Doble has been creating and using musical instruments to help inspire creativity and well-being for over thirty years. More recently he has been directing his talents directly towards creating sonic landscapes that invite the listener to go deep within to make shifts in health and well-being. 

Using a large array of gongs from around the world, Jim creates a trance like atmosphere, inviting the brain and psyche to loosen up a bit, help break up old unhealthy patterns and invite new ways of being in the world. 

The first half of the deep dive will go as described above. This will blend into the  second half where you will be invited to close your eyes for a sonic meditation, diving into your own submersed self, letting the magic fully take you.
