Sound massages

When sound becomes a space for encounter, resonance and imagination, ‘Sound Massages’ emerge: a realm of listening and inner perception. It is a sound experience situated between performance and deep listening. Everyday objects will create delicate soundscapes; a microscopic and unexpected universe. An invitation to slow down, focus your attention and experience sound as a physical, sensory and imaginative space. Developed by the sound artists and improvisers Pascal Battus and Thierry Madiot, the sound massages will be interpreted by the five members of KNM Ensemble who will join us at the opening concert of Hay Festival Arequipa 2026.

There will be individual 15-minute ‘sound massages’.
