To close the **Adventures in the Electroverse** series, **Martyn Ware**, electronic music pioneer, will be in conversation with **Cherub Sanson**, a leading sound healer and sound artist, to explore how music and sound can drive positive change.

As previous creative collaborators, Martyn and Cherub will reflect on their shared experiences of using sound as both an artistic and therapeutic tool. Cherub has played a key role in bringing therapeutic sound into popular consciousness, and will discuss its transformative power in healing and restoring balance. Martyn, known for his work in immersive sound and innovative music production, will share insights into how sound can influence collective consciousness and foster social change.

Together, they will explore how soundscapes—whether through music, therapy, or immersive experiences—can contribute to a more harmonious and compassionate world. This conversation promises to highlight the often-overlooked impact of sound on our wellbeing and society.
