TOTAL RESPONSE brings together sound and Simran – a focused practice of the mind rooted in contemporary Sikh philosophy – to upend traditional notions of performer and audience.

Embracing Harmolodics – the free interplay of harmony, melody and rhythm – a collective of six multi-instrumentalists and a Simran practitioner will foster the co-creation of music and sound with concert attendees. Artists include CARLOS NIÑO (also the concert’s Music Director), SURYA BOTOFASINA, AUSTIN WILLIAMSON and MICHAEL ALVIDREZ, with special guests ISHMAEL BUTLER and ANGEL BAT DAWID, and ‘KOI’ guiding and voicing Simran.

A recording of the concert will become the heartbeat of a sound installation in the forthcoming Wellin Museum exhibition Nirbhai (nep) Singh Sidhu and without SHAPE without FORM: Awakened by the Unstruck, opening Fall 2027.

Tickets are free and available in advance or at the door.
