To mark the closing of the Time Machines exhibition, the journey through the universe culminates in a remarkable immersive experience: a sleep concert held in the Duomo of OGR Torino, from 11 PM on June 1 through 8 AM the following morning.
Throughout the night, the atmospheric soundscapes of Andrea Di Maggio – aka Andrea Passenger – will guide attendees on a musical voyage through time and space. His selections, blending ambient, ethereal organic music, and electronic textures, will create a deeply enveloping environment – ideal for relaxation and nocturnal contemplation, right through to dawn.
Enhancing the experience, the opening hour of the set will feature world-renowned musician Gianluca Petrella. Known for his fluid command of both jazz and electronic music, Petrella will perform live with keyboards and trombone, setting the tone for this singular sonic journey into the heart of the night.
An opportunity to be carried away by the vibrations of music and science – falling asleep and awakening in a space suspended between dream and reality.
