Through the sound and vibration of the instruments, you are invited to enter a personal space of restoration, calm, and inner balance.
Every sound here is intentional. The instruments are tuned so that, no matter how you interact with them, they produce harmonious tones. There is no wrong way to play them—only opportunities to explore, listen, and feel.
Sound has a profound effect on both the body and the emotions. Everything we hear and experience physically leaves its imprint. During wartime, many sounds have become associated with danger, tension, and fear.
We created the Temple of Sound as a place where everyone can experience a safe personal environment filled with harmony and tranquility—a space to pause, listen inward, and reconnect with a sense of inner stability.
When the body receives a steady and reassuring sonic signal, it gradually begins to attune itself to it, much like a musical instrument is tuned to a tuning fork. This process can help reduce stress, restore a sense of safety, and support the body’s natural capacity for recovery.
Divya Svara
Members: Natalia Diachok, Dmytro Matiukhin, Eugene Pylinsky, Andrii Moroz
Field: sound art, sound therapy, musicians
Divya Svara is a Ukrainian project in sound art and sound therapy, founded by multi-instrumentalist and overtone-singing master Dmytro Matiukhin together with sound therapist Natalia Diachok. Eugene Pylinsky and Andrii Moroz also take part in the exhibition installation.
Alongside live sound-healing and overtone-singing sessions (workshops and festival performances), the team designs and builds its own musical instruments. The flagship is the artist-made metallophone “Divya”: an instrument for sound therapy, built on the principles of sacred geometry and presented in ten tunings, each with its own mood and “sonic aroma composition” (Sanskrit divya — “divine, wondrous”).
The project’s practice is built on immersion: here sound is not an accompaniment but an environment in which the listener’s state shifts. The authors combine the live sound of their own instruments with the voice, working with sound as an instrument for transforming attention and the body.
Practice
Design and production of original instruments for sound therapy (the “Divya” metallophone, in 10 tunings, based on sacred geometry).
