"Loved it...Such a unique experience. Can’t wait to come back and do it in a group environment or maybe a live session." - Jose D.


"It was incredible. We have never experienced anything like this, both the installation and the studio itself.”

"The staff were very friendly and informative. The listening space was super clean, cool (thanks for the AC) and set up nicely with pillows and chairs. Actually, we really want those pillows, please tell us where to get some!!" - Anya R

 

 

"Loved it! Was a great piece, [ I ] am very impressed in the technology/sound and can't wait to book again!”


”I found it very calming, and curiosity-provoking. I love the design of the space too. It felt like a great arc on the experience through Sean's piece [Sounds for a Room]. It made me want to produce music for the space. It made me hopeful for Vancouver's contemporary art and music scene." -

"It was amazing! We were given a demo of the space by Creative Director Hannah Acton, who was so warm and inviting about the space's possibilities, as well as incredibly knowledgeable and articulate about its technical specs. It stimulated all of our senses.”

"The experience started with the contrast between the heat and noise of the East Hastings street front and the calm, cool and tranquil lobby area inside Lobe. Immediately our bodies relaxed and became open to a softer, but also more resonant, frequency. This had a lot to do with Hannah's own presence, which was all about establishing a relationship with us, and with the space. Then we entered the studio proper and listened to/experienced three different works... All were extraordinary and allowed us to move around and configure our listening bodies in novel ways." - Peter D

 

 

"Really enjoyed this piece... I'll be back for more I'm sure!”

"Since this was my second experience, I found it easier to move around without feeling like I was missing something from a different angle. I experimented more with positions walking, laying down etc..." - Kirk C

"As the first festival event I attended over the past year that didn't involve Zoom, this was an incredible experience - really grateful for the opportunity to experience this. I was greeted warmly by Lobe staff, who were genuinely interested in my thoughts and answered all the questions I had about the space. Once inside, I was blown away by the composition, which took advantage of the technology in the space and was unlike any experience I have had with audio. A really positive experience, and one that left me excited to see what the future holds for the space!”

“I had never experienced anything quite like Lobe before. While I would identify as an amateur audiophile, the space transformed audio from a passive experience to one that fully engaged the listener in a different way. Rup's piece [Vox.Infold] really leveraged this in a thoughtful and beautiful way, perhaps most powerfully in moments of the track that included the human voice placed in different spaces within the room. I feel the composition was a great entry point into the space!" - Alexander
