I thought I heard right! I saw Aqua Vibe only once before - at an exhibition of paintings by an artist who did some awesome paintings about the country's overall spiritual state after 9/11. I thought then that the choice of having this versatile group play for something like this -the paintings had so much depth, you couldn't throw just any group with it- was an excellent one. To say that they "handled" it is an understatement! I talked to the producer of the exhibition (yes, I said "producer": it wasn't just the usual boring blank walls with a bunch of pretentious paintings tossed on them, of pretentious images the usually pretentious artist attempted to pass off as "art" - (like so many "discoveries" of artists who do paintings of someone chewing their own face off; eeww...scared of you...) - this was a PRODUCTION -- complete with profoundly impressive images with a SOUNDTRACK -something I'd only seen once before, in Boston, maybe even by the same artist - (too bad I'm so bad on names.) This soundtrack was obviously originally composed for the different pieces in the show, making them all the more powerful - and visa versa for the music itelf. Clearly, there was some I.Q. involved with putting this together, and I wish more artists - visual and musical - would add a bit more of that into how they put their shows together, instead of all the self-ndulgent, sophomoric crap we always get treated to when seeking a bit more substance to dig into. Aqua Vibe obviously come well-equipped fr whatever life throws at it. Hana & Associates, as well, delivers a great read about this group. It makes me want to check out other reviews, or clients it has. At last: a PR company that doesn't spin so over-the-top that you already KNOW its a lie - and one can get a real grip on what a group -or whatever else it handles - has to offer. My recollection of Aqua Vibe matches perfectly (sans the "in-person" impact) as closely as possible, what to expect when one has the good fortume of actually being there. Not just refreshing - its a relief. Wow. I thought I heard right!
