The spectacular Danish underwater band, Between Music, has hit hard times, since one of their water tanks broke after a concert and caused damages for some €650.000 (710.000 US$).

Between Music and the venue were both insured, but the insurance companies refused to cover the damage so Between Music had to declare bankruptcy and lost all its unique instruments and equipment.

However, musicians Laila Skovmand and Robert Karlsson have now fueled new optimism to recover the band and its world-renowned underwater concert ‘AquaSonic’.

Between Music has toured the world with their underwater concert AquaSonic since 2016. From Australia to northern Norway and from Hong Kong to Siberia, five musicians have sung and played on their custom-built instruments immersed in five large aquariums.

The unique underwater concert has taken over ten years to create and has been developed in collaboration with researchers, instrument builders, free-divers and other specialists from around the world.

After a long COVID-crisis, there was again a demand for concerts, and Between Music had started five other artistic projects that investigated water from different angles. The great vision was to gather all works in a sustainable water festival that would tour the world, where local citizens, artists and international researchers would gather in conversations and artistic experiences with and about water.

But after the bankruptcy, the band's musicians have had to say no to requests from e.g. New York and Norway because they could not play without their special instruments, aquariums and the basic administration and insurance that it requires.

Between Music is now ready to re-emerge and return to the world stage, and the orchestra is launching a crowdfunding campaign to finance new activities.
