Nāda Sonics—IRL: Listening Session by Sway of the Verses

Nāda Sonics—IRL: Listening Session

Sway of the Verses has been presenting the Nāda Sonics show on NTS Radio for over two years, a journey into the world of raga and tala -based music. He shares the intricacies of this ever evolving ancient musical tradition weaving through the numerous musicians, instruments, ragas, time-cycles and concepts of this genre.

Over the last year, Sway has done numerous DJ sets of raga music at We Out Here, Dancing Family Festival and Felt Sound System, plus his regular ambient sessions at the Sauna Social Club.

He feels now it's time for a regular raga music listening session, Nāda Sonics—IRL: Listening Session. It is a chance to experience this spiritual, moving music in a collective situation, an uninteruppted listening session of 90mins sat on the floor, sipping tea and melting away into the vibes.

Lake and Sway of the Verses invite you to share this experience in Deptford in an intimate setting, sitting on the floor, sipping chai and concentrating solely on the music.

Lake is a dedicated space for the development of audio-spatial practices.

Through installation, performance and conversations, artists are invited to use the gallery’s native 7.1 surround sound system for the exploration of integrated sonic practices within the visual arts landscape. Lake encourages the extension of artistic practice and knowledge through this site-specific engagement.

Much like the ecological landscape of a lake, supporting life both around and beneath its surface, the gallery seeks to develop collaborative processes beyond individual mediums. The participation of the public forms an integral part of this immersive ecosystem.

Lake is based in Deptford, London.
