Description

The Ludo is excited to participate in the Cambridge's NITES grant program, presenting three special editions of our Steep'd series!

Join us on July 15th at First Street Market for a special presentation of Obscured Vision as part of Steep'd's deep listening-focused (in Sound) events. 

Created in collaboration between science reporter and producer Ari Daniel and sound designer/composer Ian Coss, Obscured Vision features sonic stories that stir the senses, spark the imagination, and invite you to rediscover the world through sound alone.

Obscured Vision was originally commissioned and produced by the Museum of Science, Boston.

Guests are encouraged to experience this with eyes closed.

There will be a mix of floor and standard seating available. Please plan to bring yoga mats and cushions as we will have a limited amount of available, provided on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Reach out to info@theludo.co with any accessibility requests as soon as posisble.

About the Creators

Steep'd

Steep’d takes a different approach to nightlife—preserving many of the reasons why we go out: unwinding after a long week, immersing in art and music, and connecting with others—while rethinking some of the elements that can leave us feeling overstimulated or depleted.

By keeping volume at more intentional levels, decentering alcohol, and operating at more sustainable hours, we aim to create a space that feels more accessible for a wider range of people and leaves folks guests feeling more nourished than depleted the morning after.
