Nice memory, just put up this on Youtube,

We are preparing to create our 4th version of Body of Water, our Live Performance Concert! Will it be like summer 2023, a 3h durational at Malmöfestivalen? - A fantastic experience! - Or will it be more like the light and easy like the 50 minute version 2 in St Pauli Church, (thank you Per Myrstener for joining in on organ this specific time) #gallerihelgenmalmo2022 ? Or will it be outdoor like the first a 40 minutes version, initiated by #malmokonstmuseum 2020 at the castle yard?
We all feel very happy for all three, so let's see what will be!! @breathingwater:
Felicia Konrad David Carlsson Mats Persson Tina Quartey

Totally WOW! Our 3-hour durational Body of Water 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 right now! -
-YOUTUBE Here is the last 14 minutes of these 3 hours, a flowing improvisation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1K_r3UK_FY
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!

We are also sketching some ideas, and hoping that our continuous contact with Skånes Dansteater will result in a very
special sound work.

This will be an extended version based on both our sound piece Breathing Water and our first version of the Live Performance Concert 'Body of Water/Kropp av Vatten', which we created on commission by Malmö Art Museum when our sound piece Water Dialogues was exhibited there outdoor July-August 2020, as an extension of the exhibition Shape Shifters. The Sound piece Water Dialogues was originally created in 2018 on commission for the audio log at Tomelilla Art hall for the exhibition Amniotic Fluid/I Still Live in Water.
22/4 Now we will start again working with a piece in our ongoing sound piece Breathing Water, named The Sound Choir, in which we ask people to send iPhone recordings with 2 phrases about the facts that the life in the Oceans give us 2 out 3 breaths of the oxygen on Earth, in different languages. In our town Malmö; around 160-180 is spoken. So this will take time. Right now we have 41 languages. Our aim is to install this piece in a sound shower outdoor, public. - But we take our time!
