Between Music (DK)
AquaSonic
An extraordinary concert experience; a deep dive into a magical new universe of images and sounds.
Presented in collaboration with IETM Aarhus 2023
Venue: Åbne Scene
Five performers submerge themselves in glass water tanks to play custom-made instruments and sing entirely underwater. Transformed inside these darkly glittering, aquatic chambers, they produce compositions that are both eerily melodic and powerfully resonant.
AquaSonic is the culmination of years of research into the exciting possibilities of submerged musical performance, breaking barriers and challenging existing paradigms.
The result is a concert experience completely out of the ordinary; a deep dive into a magical new universe of images and sounds.
Non-verbal performance.
