Musical Sound Journey will take you on a trip inspired by the elements Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Ether.  Matt and John have crafted a landscape of sound, encompassing our planet and beyond.  It features indigenous instruments, sound effects, ambient dreamscapes, and delicious beats.
2.  Food:  Then stop for delicious food (free-of-charge) to refuel for the energizing music to come. Take time to look at the art exhibition that graces the Button Factory walls.

It’s long been known that music can induce a state of relaxation good for stress relief and health.  What better way to celebrate the coming of summer?

A message from Musical Sound Journey:
We invite you to:  stretch out with your ears - 
We won’t ask you to open up your chakras..
We won’t ask you to contact spirit guides, or speak to aliens.. 
We won’t ask you to meditate, do yoga, or breathe thru your belly..
And we don’t expect you to stand on one leg, uncurl like a fern frond,
or vibrate at a harmonic frequency.
We won’t even demand that you are thankful, joyous or relaxed.
But if you want to do any of these things, you are most welcome.
We’ve crafted an intimate audible experience for you. Enjoy.
