THE AQUATIC MUSEUM
Chamber Pop Music Collective
A genre-breaking project, The Aquatic Museum skilfully combines the color palettes of jazz harmony, the delicacy of a chamber ensemble, and the energy of a pop band. Carefully crafted compositions take us on a journey that reinvents the sound of pop delicately weaving moving lyrics with a spectrum falling between the poles of minimalism, the epic, and everything in between. This is chamber pop music.
The Aquatic Museum Album
The Aquatic Museum Album (release planned for 2023), inspired by Sufjan Stevens, Emiliana Torrini and Agnes Obel, invites the listener to explore the mysteries of undiscovered, aquatic realms. The tracks oscillate between lush orchestral textures and intimately woven arrangements. The music is constantly expanding, strengthened through ambient drones and extended atmospheres with pop-inspired elements. Strings, horns, electronic instruments, grand choirs, playful piano parts and captivating guitar riffs create a sound that evokes the grandeur of the chambers of the sea and conjures up the song titles’ metaphors.
The Aquatic Museum App
The Aquatic Museum App will transport users to an original, imaginative, hand-drawn aquatic world and guide them through various museum chambers by both visual and musical cues. The app will be available on the Apple App Store, Google Play and be released alongside the first single and theaquaticmuseum website. It will also serve as a marketing platform for the official album launch and be featured along other projects such as a Flamenco teaching platform featuring Grammy Award winner Niño de Los Reyes and percussion player Sergio Martínez.
