Stony Brook, NY – March 29, 2024 – Acclaimed artist JivanXander Ramesh is thrilled to announce his latest creative venture into the realm of sound art with the unveiling of his innovative sound installation, “Ys.” This captivating installation will be showcased at the prestigious Stony Brook Staller Center Music Building, opening to the public on May 1, 2024.

The installation will feature a series of spatial audio elements designed to evoke a range of emotions and provoke thoughtful reflection.
