It's my own personal history project stretching back to 2007 - with hundreds of recorded interviews, podcasts and plays. This section of the site is pretty old so don't expect it to work all the time and ignore it asking for Real Player to be loaded.
So Listener beware!!!

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.

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.

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.’

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.
