WET SOUNDS Bangor feat. NURSE WITH WOUND + GRAHAM BOWERS + ANDREW LEWIS + JOEL CAHEN
The world’s only underwater sound art gallery is setting off on the third tour of the UK in January 2011. Wet Sounds transforms public swimming pools into listening galleries in which the public can experience a range of live performances, music, and specially commissioned and selected sound art pieces, while swimming or floating in the water, with ears submerged, and absorbed in sound.
Wet Sounds is a deep listening experience. The swimming pools are divided in two: one sound system is used underwater, and another above, and lighting is specially designed for the events, transforming the pools and creating an immersive environment
For Bangor:
NURSE WITH WOUND present a special concert through separate outputs and dual soundsystem.
ANDREW LEWIS - live electro acoustic composition
GRAHAM BOWERS - live soundtrack to a film projected on the ceiling of the swimming pool
JOEL CAHEN - sound collage disorienting and aquadelic
DAWNS I BAWB and MEGAN BROADMEADOW underwater performance art
