"Water is a connector, a differentiator, a facilitator, a communicator.
It brings all kinds of bodies into intimate contact, despite and because of our differences” Astrida Nemanis
BREATHING WATER:
Februaruy: Uppdate:
We have applied to make a project with public underwater listening events in Malmö, at Södra Varvsbassängen, and to extend Body of Water Live Performance concert with sounds from there, and underwater filmmaterial, and to make sound pieces available for the public, and an artistic composition for our ongoing sound-piece Breathing Water.
So we keep our thumbs!
We are also happy to be a part of the dispatches to arrangers and different actors in the musical world, that Musikcentrum Syd is making now in February 2025.
Our ongoing sound piece: Breathing Water/Breathing Water,
Happy that many are listening and in so many different countries!!

Documentation our 3 versions of Body of Water/Kropp av Vatten Live Performance Concerts:
2023
Our 3-hour durational Body of Water /Kropp av Vatten LIve Performance Concert in St Petri Church at Malmöfestivalen 16/8 was immensely strong! Some people stayed for all the 3 hours! And some just asked directly after; Are you going to do this again? - And yes! But we don't know when och where!
- We are also very grateful for the appreciation from the general of "Malmöfestivalen", Jessica Nilsson: what a fantastic piece and what a strong experience on site!
Here is the last 14 minutes of these 3 hours, a flowing improvisation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1K_r3UK_FY

2020
On assignment by Malmö Art Museum we created the first version of
Body of Water/Kropp Av Vatten, outdoor during the exhibition of our sound piece Water Dialogues there.
It was a wonderful experience with a wonderful audience outdoor, we were lucky with the weather!
