The Water Bodies Orchestra
This digital design project is a musical and embodied way to unlock the digital sound archive of European waters. Through interactive group experiences, the human and non-human voices of the water bodies will come together in a performative moment.
The Water Bodies Orchestra will be rehearsed and performed for the first time at the opening ceremony of the Confluence of European Water Bodies, 3 October 2024 in front of Ocean Space Venice, in collaboration with Venice Climate Change Pavilion.
For the concept development and production, the Embassy of the North Sea, on behalf of the Confluence of European Water Bodies, works with director Steye Hallema. Harpo ‘t Hart (Embassy of the North Sea) is involved as sound artist and curator of the project. The soundscapes are recorded by the participating water bodies of Europe.
This project is funded by Creative Industries Fund NL.
