Music For The Williamson Tunnels: A Collection Of The Sound Of Dripping Water
As Brian Eno made music for environments rather than from them (Music For Airports) these CDs are best listened to within the strange damp world of the Williamson Tunnels in Liverpool. The ceilings of these caverns are thin and the sound of dripping water can frequently be heard, but not necessarily seen. It is a sound that has intrigued artists for nigh on a century and this collection brings together historical pieces alongside new compositions from artists who have expanded that first single drip: Link
From Etsuko’s Water Bell installation (2006) in which the frequency of dripping water was controlled by a PC recording the price of oil and the ocean's temperature.

A founding member of The Pogues, it is Jem's more recent works that resonate here, specifically Score for a hole in the ground (2006). Located in a Kent forest, it is a simple structure, inspired by the suikinkutsu water chimes of Kyoto, that amplifies water dripping down a well. It is also conceptually a trilogy of approaches to the sound of dripping water - as natural environmental sound, as rhythm and as ritualistic performance prop. Water and Birds #1 comes from 2005.
