this entire experience was so surreal and I had to share it immediately

San Francisco’s Audium blends sound and space for the last 50 years.
The actual Audium building, tucked away north of Japantown just west of Van Ness, is described as a “potential composing tool,” where the audience is part of the performance the moment they walk through the door. […] Any verbal account of the so-called “sound sculpture” is incapable of capturing its immersive sensation, or the weightlessness that accompany a half an hour long envelopment in sound without vision. The sounds themselves vary in referent: some have clear origins, others are entirely electronic, and a few lurk somewhere in between. […] As the piece is performed in complete darkness, there is no clear performer-authority over the audience or sympathetic reaction amongst the listeners.
