The H.G.R. Mews Centre Swimming Pool

Intimate Aquatic: Music for the Public Pool is a sonically and physically immersive sound art installation created for swimming pools. Audience members are invited to float silently while two different narrative ambient soundtracks are being played – one above the surface of the water, and one below.
Artist Nick Bendzsa composed this 30-minute work for both quadraphonic speakers above the water’s surface and a submerged speaker under the water. Audience members hear something completely different depending on whether they are above or underwater.
Presented as part of Sound Symposium XXII, there are four opportunities to take in this unique new work: Friday, July 17th at 4:00pm or 4:30pm, and Monday, July 20th at 4:00pm or 4:30pm during the Everyone Welcome swim at the H.G.R Mews Centre. Open your ears, pull on your swimsuit, and join us for this one-of-a-kind sensory experience!

Nick Bendzsa is an artist, songwriter, composer and audio engineer born in St. John’s, Newfoundland and based in Montreal, Quebec. Oscillating between the worlds of emotionally driven pop music and a familial tradition of sonic experimentation, Bendzsa creates ethereal audible environments, extracting emotive timbres from synthesis, contorted acoustic materials and sampling. Seeking to blend something introverted with something fantastical and ethereal, Bendzsa takes pleasure in the experience of creating something new, and presenting his art in immersive and unique ways.
