Summer solistice 2009: > live @ Toskana Therme Bad Sulza, near Weimar > live @ Toskana Therme Bad Schandau, near Dresden 7th Liquid Sound Festival 8th-9th November 2008
Just as a dull dry
stone glistens when put into in water, so too do sounds, light, words and
feelings begin to shine when immersed in water. |
|||||||
|
Of all the elements, water is the nearest to our
imagination, to dreaming and the sound of the sirens. And so it is only
natural that we should want to explore the medium of water. Liquid Sound® corrects a common misunderstanding: that water is a dumb element. Anyone
who has bathed in a Liquid Sound® pool with their ears beneath the surface
will know that water possesses excellent acoustic properties. |

|
Our senses perceive the world differently in
water than on dry land. Sound waves envelope us from all sides, reaching
us not only through the ears but also skin and bones, and all that almost
five times faster than in the air. The medium is not just message, it
is the massage. Fine vibrations enliven our body’s organism from
within and without; it stimulates our senses and connects with our soul.
For thermal baths this is revolutionary, but for the oceans this is nothing
new – the troubadours of the oceans, the whales, have been giving
underwater poetry readings and concerts for 40 million years, live, day
and night. |

| The sound of whale song also excites the human ear. In water, their
sound makes physical contact. New sensations also awaken new desires:
what’s it feel like to listen to the Blues in blue water? … how about yellow and red for Bach underwater? … or ambient trance to pulsating lights fields? … or poetry afloat in utter darkness? … or the desire to float in as yet unseen multimedia patterns, to float and sway, introverted and ecstatic half-dreaming, half-dancing in a fluid architecture that has merged with the fluid music. And how? That’s easy: there’s nothing to it except to do nothing! |
|||||||
| That, ladies and gentlemen,
dear dolphins, is a short introduction to Liquid Sound®, of bathing
in light and music.
Welcome! |
