As part of this year’s Sound Garden at the Fondation Beyeler, Anna de Pahlen and Mimi Xu invite you to an immersive sonic experience attuned to 136.1 Hz – a frequency linked to the Earth’s natural resonance. This vibrational tone activates a biophysical feedback loop in which sound shapes not only perception but also gently recalibrates the body’s internal rhythms.

Blending electronic performance, meditation, and heightened sensory awareness, the two-hour journey unfolds as sound becomes space, breath becomes rhythm, and connection is not only felt – but heard.

Structured in five seamlessly interwoven chapters – from Intention Setting and Sonic Invocation to Seated Meditation, Moving into Presence, and Awakening through Dance – the performance creates a ritual environment where vibration becomes a shared language.

This special edition of Sound Garden is not simply a concert, but an invitation to embody sound – a transformative ritual at the crossroads of art, science, and inner exploration.

The concert series will take place every Wednesday* between 6 and 8 p.m. from 25 June to 10 September 2025.
