A sonic immersion on SOS MEDITERRANEE's mothership by Bo van der Werf

This autumn, saxophonist and composer Bo van der Werf will soon board the Ocean Viking to record a wide range of sounds: communications during rescues, the eco-acoustics of the sea and scenes of life on board.

His project: to create a sound installation freely inspired by his stay on board the mothership of the SOS MEDITERRANEE association.

This “exhibition-installation” will recreate a multidimensional soundscape of life aboard the Ocean Viking.

As Bo van de Werf describes it: 'It will be a distillation of humanity in communion, a deep soundscape, blending concrete sources with a musical composition, like a discreet and dreamlike counterpoint.'

The aim is dual: to allow the public to immerse themselves in life on board, and to pay tribute to the extraordinary work of SOS MEDITERRANEE on land and at sea.

You can support this creative project until  25 September 2025  via the crowdfunding campaign below.
