5 REASONS TO GO TO . . .
WET SOUNDS 1 It’s the most listening fun you can have without electrocuting yourself You get in the pool. You listen to music either in the water, out of the water or somewhere in between, floating on the surface. There are speakers submerged below you and in the air above, playing separate tracks by creator Joel Cahen and guest vocalist La Horrox. ‘The three sound spaces,’ says Wet Sounds’ blurb, ‘are used to convey parallel narratives, musical and literal.’ It sounds very relaxing. 2 It’s already made quite a splash Shoot us for using that phrase. Put us out of our misery. We deserve it. Established five years ago by Cahen at London Fields Lido in Hackney (Nurse with Wound performed, which must have been a fright), Wet Sounds has toured the pools and art festivals of Europe, including previous appearances in Glasgow and Edinburgh. 3 Witness hipsters in their swimming trunks and underwear-as-swimwear This year, Synergy Concerts are promoting the show at the beautiful and newly restored Arlington Baths Club as part of the West End Festival. Previous Wet Sounds appearances have included All Tomorrow’s Parties, the AV Festival, Ultima in Oslo and the Glasgow Music and Film Festival. It should be one for, let’s say, more esoteric tastes. 4 Strange things happen underwater Sound travels four and a half times faster, they tell us, so the brain doesn’t notice the lag between one ear hearing and the other catching up. Also, because sound waves are carried by water directly to the inner ear, some people who are hard of hearing say they can ‘hear’ underwater. 5 It’s great for people who can swim Unlike certain writers at The List. Oh well. Maybe they can record it for us and we can listen in the bath. (David Pollock) ■ Part of West End Festival, Arlington Baths Club, Glasgow, Sun 2 Jun. See wetsounds.co.uk for info. See Summer Festivals feature, page 24 for West End Festival preview.
