Wet Sounds
Dive
in!! and immerse yourself in an otherworldly sound experience at the
swimming pool!
Moving
in and out of the water, the water surface becomes a threshold
between two different sound worlds and two entirely different
listening experiences.
Underwater, the sound is intimate and incredibly detailed. Look below and you will see sub-aqueous performances in the depths of sound and imagination, as the bottom of the pool becomes a stage for exploration.
Having toured swimming pools in Europe this is a rare opportunity to catch Wet Sounds at its only Australian shows.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “...Swimming
in water that carries an audible dimension is immensely pleasurable.
Noise surrounds you physically. It is both highly individualising as
you are wholly immersed in your own senses without the possibility
of communication, and extensive as it carries your awareness out
across the expanses of your environment... Exploring sound through a
co-ordinated fluid, weightless movement. I suspect that it was
rather like being in the womb.” - Mizled Youth
