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.
