A unique band has taken music to a whole new level. The band ‘Between Music’ gave an amazing performance at the Operadagen festival in Rotterdam using specially designed instruments and a vocal technique created to allow underwater singing.

The five members of the Danish band performed their show titled ‘AquaSonic’ in tanks which contained specially built instruments and microphones for creating underwater music, since underwater conditions caused traditional instruments to break apart.

Singer Laila Skovmand became obsessed with the idea of singing under the water after she developed a technique, in which she sings without letting air bubbles leaving her mouth, as RT reports.

“This idea started about ten years ago when Laila Skovmand, the composer, started to explore how to sing in a bowl of water, to see what the water surface does to her voice and then a couple of years later she tried actually singing totally submerged in a big tank and that was the start of it,” band member Robert Karlsson told Ruptly.

It is also amazing that the band does not use any breathing apparatus during the show. Instead they come up for air at moments that are worked into the music.
