Sanctuary

In collaboration with: Lōemis, M Digital & Dan Mercer

Sanctuary invites users to put on their headphones and explore a series of carefully curated audio sanctuaries around Wellington - Zealandia, Wellington Botanic Garden, and Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush.

The Vision

Sanctuary is an immersive location-based audio experience that invites you to unwind and unfurl within the serene and tranquil green-spaces of Te Whanganui-a-Tara, creating a uniquely nourishing and reflective experience.

Sanctuary invites the audience to explore a series of carefully curated audio sanctuaries around Wellington.

Sound Design Approach

The goal of the project was to create calming meditative ambient soundscapes that would encourage listeners to go within and be still in the beautiful introspective natural spaces. We combined field recordings from around Aotearoa with gently undulating synth work with subtle evolving melodics.
