ASMRtist Paris ASMR performs a stunning live ASMR session titled, “Voyage Sonore”

/ Dr. Richard / Leave a comment

Let me begin with, Who is Paris ASMR?

His name is Flo and he is one of my favorite ASMR artists.  His French language and French-accented ASMR productions send me into instant bliss.  I’m not the only one of course – his YouTube channel, Paris ASMR, has over 250,000 subscribers and over 500 videos.

He is also one of the most talented individuals I know in the world of performance and production.  Just peek at my prior post about the mesmerizing ASMR dance video he produced.

Recently, Flo has created another stunning masterpiece that merges the sensory world of audio and visual.  A couple of months ago he created and performed a live ASMR session/exhibition, Voyage Sonore, in Paris, France.

Keep reading to view photos and videos from this incredible event, and to read Flo’s description of the moment.
