Mara Hebel’s composition for choir and live electronics creates a surreal underwater soundscape. Audio recordings of different locations in Bremen above and below water as well as the voices of Bremen’s aquatic birds lead to the sounds of the choir. The piece acoustically submerges the city and addresses the themes of flooding and sinking, but also the silence of submerging, making oneself aware of a human community and holding it together.

»Über das Wasser« (»On the water«) is part of the series »Songs of Rising and Sinking,« ↗ in which alternating composers create compositions specifically for the Schwankcore ↗ that are dedicated to the ecological, social and emotional repercussions of the increasing threat posed by climate change.
