Davin Youngs Wants to Immerse You in 'The Reset'
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 8 MIN.
Explained Youngs, "We don't realize how the baggage that we're carrying around weigh us down."
"Davin masterfully weaves a tapestry of sound using improvisational singing, looping devices, crystal-singing bowls, tuning forks, and other overtone-emitting instruments," notes on the presentation explain. "Layer upon improvised layer will guide you through a sonic landscape into the far reaches of your mind."
It sounds truly relaxing. But for some, the experience goes beyond a mental refresh. "Many times, people will say, 'You know, I caught a glimpse of a deceased loved one, and I felt their love and their presence,'" Youngs related. "I'm not channeling that intentionally. That's not my gift or my skill. But I'm so honored to be able to create a space that allows for that to happen."
Youngs dove deeply into the concept of the "sound bath," how it relates to music and theater, and what participants in Boston might expect to experience this coming weekend from "The RESET."
