They have previously immersed themselves\u2014quite literally\u2014in <em>Water Music<\/em> by Handel and in the soundscapes of <em>Underwater<\/em> by Celia Swart. Now, together with violinist Merel Vercammen, they find themselves not in their familiar wild waters, but on thin ice, creating a programme about rising sea levels. Whereas in <em>Underwater<\/em> (Celia Swart) the water slowly begins to rise, in <em>The Waves<\/em> by JacobTV it has reached the lips. In <em>The Lark Ascending<\/em> by Ralph Vaughan Williams, the lark rises\u2014soaring above the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022JdV-Syrene-13-2-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022JdV-Syrene-13-2-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022JdV-Syrene-13-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022JdV-Syrene-13-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022JdV-Syrene-13-2-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022JdV-Syrene-13-2.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":972,"template":"","class_list":["post-1051","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merelvercammen.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
