THE AQUATIC MUSEUM

Chamber Pop Music Collective

A genre-breaking album, 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, 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.
