"Total Response" brings together sound and Simran—a focused practice of the mind rooted in contemporary Sikh philosophy—to upend traditional notions of performer and audience.

Embracing Harmolodics (the free interplay of harmony, melody, and rhythm), a collective of six multi-instrumentalists will foster the co-creation of music and sound with concert attendees. Together, the group will build a resonant sonic structure that celebrates both individual expression and collective presence.

Featured Performers:

• Carlos Niño (music director)
• Surya Botofasina
• Austin Williamson
• Michael Alvidrez

Special Guests:

• Ishmael Butler
• Angel Bat Dawid
• Koi (guiding and voicing Simran)

By way of this shared experience, "Total Response" invites guests to reawaken the mind’s resilience through pathways of compassion.
