Experience Sound Like Never Before
At HOhME, we create immersive sound journeys that transport you beyond the ordinary. Our passion lies in crafting unique sonic landscapes using handmade instruments. Each session is designed to resonate with your senses, offering a profound connection between sound and self. Dive into a world where each note, tone and frequency are invitations to explore, meditate, let go.
"An absolutely incredible experience of sound and music by a trio of amazing performers. Barry, Lina and JuliLa elevate you to a different realm of perception through their flawless execution of different string and percussive instruments. These include four massive titanium gongs -bespokely created by Barry- at the centre of the action, and handpans, a crystal harp, ocean drum and wooden chimes (among others), all beautifully interwoven together by the clear harmonic sound of a cello. This is not your regular sound bath. This is something else. Come prepared, as you won't be the same after experiencing HOhME!"

What HOhME create is far beyond a conventional gong bath, it is an intuitive, intelligently crafted sonic experience grounded in a deep understanding of the effects of sound and frequency on the human body. Participants regularly describe feeling profoundly moved, restored and uplifted. The quality of their work is reflected in the fact that many of our regular attendees are professional musicians from both classical and contemporary fields. HOhME Trio bring artistry, sensitivity and genuine care to every session, and we recommend them wholeheartedly to festivals and venues seeking something truly exceptional. Their events are consistently among our most popular offerings.
