The cellist and singer, who has worked with everyone from Solange to Skrillex, on Oprah, activism and immersive sound baths
In times of crisis, we need to make some space for healing: a long bath, a cry, a nourishing meal. It’s important to put time aside for restoration, and multidisciplinary American artist Kelsey Lu’s latest project, Hydroharmonia, aims to provide exactly that – including the bath.
Born out of her time spent locked down in the Cayman Islands recently on an artist’s residency (“It’s unlike anything I had ever seen – the vastness of the sky!”), Hydroharmonia is an ongoing series of immersive music and visuals, with episodes one and three taking the form of “sound baths” – 20-minute streams are available on YouTube and Bandcamp – intended for a listener to sit with while meditating. The first video features beautiful footage of the sea, with the orange sun on the horizon. “The more you’re in tune with nature, the more you’re in tune with yourself, your spirit,” the 29-year-old explains. “You will find the people that are your community, that are vital for you to have in your life.”
