Setting
Speakers will be placed underwater and the audience will float around ears submerged immersed in sound. Sound travels 4 times faster in water and is heard omniponically. Although we will have 2 channels playing back, the stereo effect is lost and is perceived as a dynamic variation and not as directionality.
The listeners are immersed in sound and perceive sound through their bones as well as through the ears. The sound is heard more intimately.
Criteria
The Call for Proposals will be mainly looking for sounds which depict undersea life/ human interaction with water/ sounds which immerse the listener / abstract electronica/ electro-acoustic sounds.
