The song “The Shore” deals with the issue of steadily rising seas levels. Kiribati is expected to disappear just like our Halligen (German islands).
Many coastal cities, countries and regions have to deal with it in time.

Information about our music and our equipment:

The complete percussion – drum set was played with, or in the water (H2eau Waterdrum). For the bass drum we used a PET bottle. Dirk Günter Schlott played the water-sand HiHat (+ vocals). Torben Cord played Tank Drum, sand, water and acoustic guitar.

Text and composition Konny Zimmermann (Bass + H2eau Waterdrum).


The Shore

Water, Wasser, Woda, Aqua, Agua, Eau … is designer and shaper of our world.
to make music and sounds with water is the basic idea of the H2eau Project.
The idea and concept and H2eau Aqua Drum was developed by Konrad Zimmermann.
H2eau – WATER DRUM – SOUNDPOOL – H2eau Performance – AQUAPHONIE
Music and art created with the elixir of life water
Here you can plunge into the world of sound H2eau and learn a lot about H2eau Project.

Water is the basic instrument of the H2eau AQUAPHONIE performance. Acrylic glass bowls filled with water, equipped with hydrophones (underwater microphones) of the company “Sonar Surround” are the main components of our “water drum”. All rhythms of the performance are played live with water. The sounds and grooves produced are unique. Some of them are linked to water compositions of famous Debussy, Smetana and Rimsky Korsakov. The sound is crystall clear and transparent similar to chill out sound of Yann Tiersen (Gotan Project). Mixed with electro-, trance-, techno- or jazz-sounds our themes like “wade in the water” lead the audience to an unexpected listening experience. The highly sensitive hydrophones translate finest nuances, without any noise or feedback, and the water is making its own unique sound. Variety is ensured by our special instruments – like day to day articles and kitchen tools such as plastic bottles, whisks, shells, sand, just to name some of them. Literally anything could be used as instrument, and therefore our performance often brings a smile to everyone who first listens to the music, and then actually watches how the sound is produced. Special light effects, reflected and broken by water, create a magic mystic atmosphere. The Hydrophone was tested 2010 for the first time for the performance. The result and the possibilities are sensational. The first H2eau performance took place 1997. The first H2eau CD was published 1998. H2eau in the Internet since 01.01.2002. Winner 25. German Rock & Pop price 2007 best Tranceband Winner 25. German Rock & Pop price 2007 best experimental band.
