MEET THE CREATORS
Sounds of the Ocean is a project built from our passion for the ocean, film, music and creative storytelling. It evolved naturally over the course of five years while touring through the United States, Costa Rica, the Middle East and Europe.
Our immersive experience is designed to take you on a “deep dive” to better understand what life is like underwater, feel the love in dolphin and whale song and return gently to the surface feeling more connected. Our hope is that you find the experience to be deeply relaxing and supportive of your overall wellbeing.
From this place of building a loving connection with oneself, we believe that we can make small changes in our daily habits to reduce our consumption and live more sustainably in balance with the natural world.
- Joshua & Elise

The Brussels Planetarium
The Brussels Planetarium of the Royal Observatory of Belgium is a planetarium located on the Heysel/Heizel Plateau in Laeken. It was established during the Brussels International Exposition of 1935 as the Alberteum and is now part of the institutions of the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office
The Brussels Planetarium is one of the most important planetariums in Europe and a leading attraction in Belgium. The planetarium has an international scientific reputation, and is one of the largest in Europe, with its dome of 23 metres (75 ft) in diameter, on which the Sun, the Moon, the planets, the Milky Way and more than 8,500 stars can be projected.
The Zeiss UPP 23/5 projector of the planetarium was made up of 119 projectors and was built by the Carl Zeiss company of Jena. In April 2021, the planetarium opened its newly renovated dome, equipped with eight state-of-the-art Barco projectors. The projectors were installed by RSA Cosmos, who also provided the latest version of its powerful astronomical software, SkyExplorer 2021.
