Sound Bath Live is a Chicago-based collaboration between a certified sound healer and a live musician. The practitioner trained in crystal bowl techniques and integrates improvised music with gongs, chimes, and vocals. Sessions take place in a converted industrial loft at 1229 N North Ave, where floors are carpeted and lighting is dimmed. The duo creates a layered soundscape that builds and recedes over the hour. Attendees lie on provided mats under blankets. The practitioner does not speak during the session.
