# Sound

Duration: approximately 40 minutes

Underwater concert with weightless rhythm

Wet Sounds transforms swimming pools into spaces for music, light and performance experienced by entering the water and moving freely below and above the water surface.

Underwater, sound is perceived through the bones and it travels 4.5 times quicker than in air. It is clear and immediate. The water surface is a threshold between two different kinds of music, two entirely different listening experiences and public and private spaces. It is an erosion of spatial orientation evoking contradictory sensations of proximity, distance and intimacy.

Concept: Joel Cahen
Underwater Performer: Siren Joyce
