Toskana Therme Bad Sulza, near Weimar, will feature Australian duo “Sacred Earth” www.sacredearthmusic.com in a live concert that will be heard under water and in the general area of Toskana Therme Bad Sulza. “Sacred Earth” has fascinated people with their contemporary spiritual sound. We are very happy, that on the occasion of the Live H20 they will have their first European concert in the thermal saltwater pools of Bad Sulza – an unusual but fitting venue to honor the living water through music. Parallel and simultaneously, Toskana Therme Bad Schandau, near Dresden, will feature “Liquids”, visual art of photoartist Ortwin Klipp www.ortwinklipp.de. The images will be projected in the dome of the Liquid Sound Temple. The audience, floating in body temperature salt water, looking up to the dome ceiling, is exposed and immersed to Ortin Klipp’s visual waters. The corresponding underwater soundtrack is mixed bei micro:form / Stachy www.moonblogger.stachy.dj.

Liquid Sound CDs and DVD! 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!
