| A piece of concrète music derived entirely from the sound of running water. Turn a tap on and listen to the sound of the water as it splashes into a sink, or on the ground or whatever. If you're lucky you will hear all sorts of interesting rhythmic patterns and even musical notes. What I have done with this piece is isolate certain rhythms and sounds that I could hear in a simple recording of a running tap, and then emphasise them by repetition or other simple tricks. The middle section comprises half a dozen of these water rhythms superimposed on each other, and almost sounds like a roomful of clocks ticking in unison. The piece ends with the basic raw sample of running water, but after hearing all the rhythms I have repeated in the preceding section, you should be able to pick them out quite easily. It makes you realise what a complex sound water can make. Free download available on MegaUpload. |
