La Pesch – H2O
Wednesday, 16 September⋅3:00 – 3:45pm
This afternoon at 3pm: La Pesch presents ‘H2O’ – a soundscape composition that explores the element of water in its three forms: solid, liquid and gas.
La Pesch takes the listener on a journey that starts quietly with footsteps on snow approaching landscapes of ice. Between their ears listeners travel from the Arctic, to glaciers that slowly melt, cracking, dripping, becoming streams and rivers that lead into the deep sea following wales and dolphins, shrimps, corals, into a kelp forest and towards the shore. By boat the trip continues to shooting geysers until steam boats disappear in the distance and listeners are slowly washed ashore.
The deep listening experience leaves space for the audience to immerse themselves, let thoughts drift, connect to their own ocean. States of aggregation change, connecting with the bodies through soundscapes and monotonous, slowly forming rhythms that may synchronise the breath and movements of the bodies with the water soundscape. What kind of state is water?
