Sink into an astonishing soundscape that just might change how you hear the world. 

32 Sounds is a documentary film—delivered in real-time—that explores the ways in which sound can shape our perception of the world, seemingly bend time itself, and make boundaries permeable. This full-immersion sensory experience includes headphones provided for each audience member, live narration by filmmaker Sam Green, and live original music by JD Samson. 

“Bursting with humor, emotion and curiosity, 32 Sounds is a uniquely mind-expanding plunge into a dimension of the human experience so many of us take for granted, a rare and rewarding sonic journey with the potential to enrich our lives.” – Variety
