The heat bursts in wet that brings us out in doorways to cool in it.

Susan Collins - Dripping Water

Taken from the Music for the Williamson Tunnels CD

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.

Sirpa Jokinen - Watering My Plants

Track taken from the Music for the Williamson Tunnels CD

From the installation Conversations with plants at the University Botanic Gardens in Helsinki (2008), we hear Jussi Lehtonen changing the soil in his plants, humming affectionately and privately as he carefully waters them in the bathroom. Showering the dirt away from the tiled floor afterwards, his short and ritualistic cycle is complete, in the spirit of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Track taken from the Music fro a Williamson Tunnel CD

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.’

George Cisneros - Music For Dripping Water

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.
