Had you heard of strange-tundra?

Strange-tundra was a genre, mode, and methodology of writing music that sampled the sounds of ice, wind, choir, and vocals to create an atmospheric, experimental, meditational sound.

In simpler words, it was ice music.

At this SoundBath, we played only strange-tundra. Written by Ice-Composer Xxhe, guests emerged in our Ice Cave under the soothe-sounds of gently cracking ice, soft winds, distant choir, and ethereal vocals.

A professional vocalist as well, Xxhe’s voice vibrated the air above as attendees drifted with eyes closed into conscious stillness.

At HOX, our soundbaths were the most unique in the Bay.

Much like a sensory deprivation tank, the ground shook beneath as participants floated through the thrawls of a wakeful sleep—recharging and resetting their bodies. It was perfectly fine to fall asleep.

Yoga Mats

Water Bottles

Warm Blankets and Pillows

Available at the venue:
