Hello beautiful people,
Today our blog is dedicated to an inspiring musical project that MasQua was able to witness live last week at the Jubilee Street Party in Deptford and that we all want you readers to know about: H2drOp!
Founded by extremely talented percussionist Nuno Brito and in collaboration with our digital alchemist Nathan Harmer (from MasQua), H2drOp is a concept of creating music using water as a fundamental medium engaging the audience in a physical, emotional and thoughtful way.
Nuno Brito has been working on his project since 2008 and has been carefully modifying his instruments to create specific sounds and tones when in contact with water. In a live show these organic sounds get transformed by Nathan Harmer through digital manipulation captivating the audience not only with exciting beats raging from chill out trance to more experimental landscapes but also through a very strong stage presence. Nuno seems in fact to be transformed into a Wizard when kneeling over a big round seethrough bowl that changes colour depending on the mood of the music and stirring the water with his instruments. Nathan, completely in the zone seems hypnotised by the warm sounds that he is able to capture, loop in real-time and process making the whole room step up on their feet and dance!
Well... what more can I say... below is the website, I suggest you to have a look and keep updated so you can go to the next live performance. Do get in contact as people's feedback is very important for Nuno and his team.
