Taken from Music for a Williamson Tunnel CD
A short excerpt from the 45-minute master tape of San Antonio-based Cisneros’ 1981 installation Music for Dripping Water. Water was recorded dripping onto an array of hubcaps placed beneath the eaves of the composer’s home studio during a Texas rainstorm. A single microphone captured these sounds as ‘live’ signal sources for manipulation.

A short excerpt from Susan’s Introductory Exchanges installation (1993). A series of audio devices were placed at intervals along the Woolwich Foot Tunnel under the Thames with sounds, including dripping water, activated by passing viewers. Recorded onto looped answering-machine cassette tapes, the audio was played through walkmans and tiny amps and collaged with the reverberant audio of the tunnel itself.
Dawn is a visual artist and composer. Her work explores the interplay between sound, space, movement and material. 53 of her 57 minutes is a work for 24 differently pitched wine glasses. The composition is based on a 'change ringing' system, as practiced by bell ringers. Following that there is a 4 minute improvisation on guitar seeking a range of harmonics produced by the strings. The final minute is a collection of different location recordings roughly cut together to investigate how the environment acts as a resonator or filter, like the body of an acoustic instrument, shaping the sound passing through it.

"Stuart's Stories on the move!" as they are called sees him experience - Ferry cross the Mersey...he meets Eric, Vasily and Cap'n Jim - find out what goes on on Stuarts visit with Film stars, politicians, singers, actors. For the glitterati of the early post-war era, there was but one way to enter Liverpool. How true!

A graduate of the prestigious Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique in Paris, Jodi has composed a new work using a tap dripping into a pan: ‘there are some guitar string sounds too which are played by the drips using small speakers on the strings, picking out the resonance of the drips. In a sense, the water is playing the piece.’
S & M (2006 ) Recorded at Wolstenholme Gallery at Frakture Festival
This was recorded at a gig during the 2007 Frakture festival. I personally like that lack of subtlety in the sound world, although there is plenty of subtleness in the playing and approach. I am particularly fond of the sound of the electronics on this piece. They also sound rude - ish. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=147496816 is where to go to hear more and even read a bit about them.
Track length 8.45
