A wave of contradictory sentiments flows in the soul, up and down. Solar Return has been working with underwater sounds for many years, in Vague à l’âme they are incorporating sounds from the Mediterranean sea with their live modular synth performance. Vague à l’âme is performed in combination with a generative waves video developed from recent footage also taken in the Mediterranean between lock-downs. This work holds different reflections of our actual context: the wave figures, curving the pandemic, lock-down and deep longing for the wild, crossing the sea, the freshness of the ocean, again and again. Created for Neon Night 2020.
