Sound Immersion

w/ Joseph Yiannakou

Meditative Listening Experiences

Combining gong, crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, therapeutic percussion, field recordings and voice, Joseph’s Sound Immersion experiences bring together rich sonic textures, deep relaxation and the art of listening.

Having trained at the Brit school of Performing Arts and the British Academy of Sound Therapy, his approach bridges therapeutic sound and creative exploration, inviting audiences to experience sound not only as a pathway into meditation, but as a source of imagination, discovery and inspiration.

Layers of sustained tones, harmonics, rhythms and subtle vibrations create an evolving landscape of sound. The experience can quieten the mind, open up the imagination or draw attention to the more subtle ways we perceive and respond to sound. Guided meditation and elements of Yoga Nidra provide a gentle framework, helping participants move away from the pace of everyday life towards a more restful, contemplative state.

Every experience is different. You might notice physical sensations, emotions, images or memories, or simply enjoy the opportunity to switch off and unwind. There is no right or wrong way to experience sound — only the invitation to listen and see what unfolds.

Whether you’re new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, Sound Immersion offers an opportunity to slow down, explore the imagination and experience sound in a different way.

  • “Joseph is a magic-shape-shifter and his sound baths are transportive. His sessions are a beautiful mix of natural sounds, instrumental accompaniment and his angelic singing voice, all choreographed and layered to give a depth of rest that is like no other. I have been lucky enough to attend these sound workshops but also collaborate with Joseph for yoga and meditation events. He’s a wonderful person to work with and alongside and brings the art and warmth of his work into any environment.”

  • “I have attended a handful of sound baths in the past but this one was a truly magical experience. Joseph was very present and controlled with every movement he made thus allowing me to really feel relaxed and let go. He is super aware of his energy and that of others and manages to hold the space with such grace. I enjoyed the way he articulated in such an eloquent way and how he brings his musicality into each instrument including his angelic singing voice. I can't recommend this enough.”

  • “Joseph takes the time to consider every detail from the lighting, smell, equipment and layout which automatically transforms the space, making it feel very inviting and warm thus allowing for everyone involved to feel welcome and find comfort easily. Joseph has a particular sensitivity and musicality that really compliments this listening experience. He gracefully incorporates beautiful yet primal vocal elements and understands how to play with the relationship between harmony and dissonance in a way that allows the participants to really experience the full breadth and quality of sound. I also appreciate how he is always connecting and communicating with the energy of the room to provide the right level of dynamics and sonic variation needed for each group.”
