As one half of the critically acclaimed electronic music duo Basement Jaxx, Felix Buxton has achieved a Grammy, headlined the famous Glastonbury Festival and toured the world - and tomorrow he will be unveiling a special solo project in Edinburgh alongside a 40-person choir.
On Saturday February 1 at 4pm, Felix is set to present 'The Love Frequency' at the Edinburgh Wellbeing Festival. The music event explores the impact of music on mental wellbeing and the healing properties that come with sound. For the event, Felix has written the music for and collaborated with Edinburgh's Got Soul community choir.
The musicAfter the performance, which is being specially premiered in Edinburgh, Felix and Maryam Ghaffari who is the founder of the Got Soul Choir, will discuss how music has the power to enhance wellbeing and bring everyone together.
The event has been co-curated by Edinburgh Music Lovers (EML) and the Edinburgh Wellbeing Festival to bring to life the strong themes of this year's festival, which include loneliness, the importance of community and of course the power of music.
Felix has said: "I've been exploring the healing properties of sound for years. One of the best ways we can heal ourselves and make our bodies resonate with joy is to sing with others, so I was delighted to be asked to collaborate with the Got Soul Choir.
"The piece I have created is called 'Love Frequency', a result of exploring the frequencies thought to resonate with the vibration of love. This is an experiment and exploration which can only be experienced at the Edinburgh Wellbeing Festival. I hope it will have a beneficial effect on the audience, and show how music and sound can enhance wellbeing."
Tickets cost £13.25 for The Love Frequency event ONLY here with tickets costing £27.50 for a full day at the festival including the event here.
The event will be taking place at the Assembly Rooms on Saturday February 1 at 4pm.
