With kind permission from Edition Peters, we are able to include Cage's Water Music performed by Jack Behrens in 1990 at the Winter Music Program at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Canada. Jack lecturers in composition at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Canada and first met Cage in 1960. With the sound of falling water implied as much as presented, Water Music is an important pre-Drip Music work.

In researching this project, the question was sent to George Brecht, via the Ludwig Musum, regarding using a version of his 1959 Fluxus score Drip Music as a cornerstone of the Collection. A month or so later came a simple 'yes' via his wife Hertha. In 2002, the same year that he was interviewed by tenantspin's Josie Crawford at the 40 Years Of Fluxus event in Wiesbaden, Ben Patterson revisited Drip Music: ‘I decided to re-examine the original score (below), rather than rely on my memory of performances of the traditional interpretations of these works. Thus, I discovered that Brecht's original instructions allowed for both a single source or multiple sources of dripping water. Remembering George’s first career as a chemist, employing laboratory equipment to produce multiple, dripping sources seemed appropriate.’
