Electric Chamber Choir is a collaborative, experimental art project by visual artist
Céline Struger and sound artist Lars Åkerlund. Struger’s multi-part sculptures become instruments on which Åkerlund performs live. Through a blend of recorded sounds and spontaneous elements, his music alters frequencies and volume, causing ripples and vibrations in the water. As the sound interacts with the water, Struger adds ink and pigments, which blend organically due to the waves created. Åkerlund’s response is influenced by the arrangement of the water basins and the sequence of chosen colors.

This project delves into themes of growth and change exploring them through both sculptural and auditory lenses. The artists engage in a dialogue about the limitations and potential of their respective mediums, touching upon the density and tension found in both matter and sound.
