Audium: Sound Hour offers sonic well-being in a new world. This curated, immersive environment aims to promote calm and wellness through spatial sound. Come relax in a safe space away from the noise of our current reality. This experience takes the listener on a sonic journey through San Francisco: spring from the loud clatter of the Tenderloin to a remote Baker Beach cave. A familiar afternoon in the Sunset District gives way to an ecstatic celebration in the Mission. Hear birds flitter above, while children laugh and play below. Electronic melodies bump up against each other and burst. The Sound Hour takes advantage of Audium’s newly-modernized, 176-speaker system, allowing for crisper and more immersive sound movement than ever before. Experience sound scenes that jump off the walls! From entrance to exit, Audium Sound Hour will massage your senses. Turn your phone off and take your time exploring the building; strict silence is requested upon entering the auditorium. All audience members must wear a mask & show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test to enter. We are keeping everyone safe with an updated HVAC system and full sanitization of the venue between shows.... Show More

Audium- the first theater of its kind in the world- has been pioneering the idea of live sound movement for over 50 years. The installation occupies a custom-built facility designed specifically for the creation and performance of spatial sound-art. Audiences at its weekly performances sit and listen in total darkness, while they are enveloped by sounds emanating from 176 speakers in sloping walls, a floating floor, and a suspended ceiling.
