    sounding ways of being 2

    In Hydra, mysterious underwater soundscapes can be heard and seen that are otherwise inaudible to the human ear. Currents and turbulence created using large ocarinas, as well as hydrophone choreographies, are staged through live video. Hydra is inspired by organic underwater sounds and noise pollution of the oceans.The concert series sounding ways of being 2, curated by Ute Wassermann, is about sound affinities, mixtures and interactions between voice, electronics, instruments, objects and the element of water, inspired by the research of artist James Bridle: Humans are closely intertwined with an intelligent environment that encompasses the intelligence of animals, plants and machines. The second edition of this series is dedicated to the artistic exploration of the complex topic of ‘field recordings’, which serve as inspiration or starting point.

    Breathing, singing, whistling, Picking up sounds, modulating them, transforming them, letting them wander through the space. The duo wassermannvogel explores the similarities of their instrumentarium: the flute, probably the instrument closest to the voice, is played by Sabine Vogel and often sonically extended by singing, whispering and various mouth percussion sounds.
    Ute Wassermann, on the other hand, uses various kinds of whistles, probably the simplest and most original form of the flute, to mask and extend her polyphonic singing. The result is a hybrid vocal instrument with iridescent, swirling, trilling, shrilling, breathy, singing timbres.
    In addition both musicians use various tube-like instruments, mini-percussion, small electronic modules, and a selection of international variants of the flute family (wooden flutes, clay, bamboo, bone whistles).
    Since 2019 wassermannvogel explore ceramic objects and their manifold sounds hidden under the water surface.
