The Silent Orb: A 2-Day Sound Journey in Berlin
AUDĪR and Experiment Intrinsic join forces to craft a deeply immersive sleepover ambient event called The Silent Orb, at OSD, Berlin on June 8th & 9th. This two-day experience blends ambient soundscapes, holistic well-being practices, and visionary art into a transformative journey for all senses. Participants are invited to disconnect from the outside world and embrace a collective sonic, visual, and sensory exploration.
They open the doors at midday - with time to ground into the space. You may begin with a guided sauna ritual, sink into the garden with a fresh meal, or join Anke for a gentle breathwork session accompanied by mantra singing and meditation. It is an invitation to soften the edges, shake off the outside world, and gently arrive. As the collective energy gathers, we begin to tune in. In the early afternoon, we open the portal together - a guided ceremony led by two deeply intuitive souls of the healing sonic realms, KĀ & Mitotili. Ceremonial cacao is shared, the heart awakens, and we enter a shared field of intention and deep presence. The Silent Orb - a mysterious hybrid set - ignites the journey, followed by the legendary Higher Intelligence Agency, weaving a refined live tapestry of expansive dub-ambient textures: dreamy, introspective, and gently psychedelic - a passage into inner journeying.
A break will give space to refresh, shake off old skin, fill your stomach with yummy food, and prepare for the night.
As twilight falls, Vakula takes us deeper - a ritualistic offering that shifts from intuitive pulse to soulful abstraction, inviting subtle movement or quiet surrender. A guiding presence through visceral textures, mesmerising rises and falls, deep basslines, and spirit-infused percussion. Then, LF58 take over with a live performance - intricate, flowing, and rooted in the cosmic. An architecture of sound - exploring boundless and mystical sonic territories... Into the night, Nathalia offers a unique blend of sacred and emotive electronics - dreamlike, crafted for still bodies and open hearts. As the stars drift westward, Ario, founder of Astral Industries, takes the helm with an experimental approach, exploring unconventional sounds and weaving connections between drone, techno, and ambient.
Dawn gently approaches.
Sarah Wreath arrives with a warm embrace of tones - guiding you through liminal early morning states. Her music journeys through space and texture, flowing from tribal ambient to genres tinged with a distinct psychedelic edge, creating an atmosphere that feels both transcendent and euphoric. With light returning, Marco Shuttle continues - known for his ability to create hypnotic, immersive environments that shift between grounded frequencies and far-reaching sonic landscapes, always attuned to the emotional undercurrent of the room.
By now, the day unfolds again.
Filippo Scorcucchi enters with cinematic sensitivity - a painter of frequencies, creating soundtracks for stillness and renewal. Followed by Refracted, drawing us into the final phase of the sonic passage. Earthbound and ritualistic. He wants to take us somewhere, the “where” being of our own choosing, the trail never being the most travelled. And to complete the circle, Toki Fuko offers a hybrid closing set - sharing material from his laboratory of sound: a framework of mechanical pulses, infused with pure hypnotic depth. Deep, slow techno grooves and rhythm sequences unfold like information - a way of thinking, a meditative space.
The Silent Orb unfolds across several distinct spaces at OSD, each offering a carefully curated program of musical, holistic, culinary, and artistic experiences. As night falls, we open a dedicated sleeping area, where lullabies gently guide you to rest, accompanied by a cozy book library and serene surroundings. Sonic guardians of the Ground Tactics Unit offer personalized 1:1 sound healing sessions throughout the event. The garden features a small sauna for guided rituals, alongside a warm fireplace for quiet reflection.
Throughout this journey, six dedicated spaces will hold and support you:
HOME - our main listening area: soft, cozy, designed for lying down or seated reception. A no-talking sanctuary.
SOUND SPACE - an intimate listening area combined with a visionary art gallery, one-on-one sound healing, parallel sonic explorations, DJ performances, and a direct audio link to HOME.ESSE - a chillout and sleeping area offering lullabies, scent journeys, a cozy library, and Sunday morning yoga sessions led by Anke.
OLD LOFT - a relaxed lounge space for gathering and conversation.
THE HAÇIENDA - a nurturing restaurant with wholesome food offerings.
GARDEN - a dreamy garden featuring a small sauna for guided rituals and a fireplace.
The Silent Orb invites you to listen deeply, move softly, and rest fully. Let this be your passage into stillness, connection, and shared presence. As a space of safety, connection, and presence, OSD offers a selection of fresh and healthy food, fostering a wholesome experience that integrates culinary, sonic, and holistic practices. The Silent Orb’s mission is to cultivate a space of deep listening, guidance, safety, openness, liberation, equality, healing, and heart opening connection.
