Edinburgh’s Wellbeing Festival will play host to a special solo project from Felix Buxton from Basement Jaxx.

One half of the esteemed electronic music duo, Felix will unveil his new solo project alongside a 40-strong choir at the Assembly Rooms on Saturday 1st February.

Teaming up with Edinburgh’s Got Soul Community Choir, Felix has written bespoke music for the project to explore music’s impact on wellbeing and the healing properties of sound.

The music explores the idea of the ‘Love Frequency’, a certain frequency of sound that is said to promote feelings of calm, healing and love, split into three parts; MIND (‘Awake’), BODY (‘Raise the Vibration’) and SPIRIT (‘The Love Frequency’), with the choir singing a variety of sounds and words.

Following the performance, Felix and Maryam Ghaffari (founder of the Got Soul Choir) will take part in a panel discussion about how music has the power to enhance wellbeing and bring people together.

The Love Frequency event has been co-curated by Edinburgh Music Lovers (EML) and the Edinburgh Wellbeing Festival to bring to life the themes of this year’s Festival, including the importance of community and the power of music.

Speaking of the collaboration, Felix 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 for The Love Frequency are available for £13.25, or day tickets for The Edinburgh Wellbeing Festival are available for the full day, priced at £27.50.
