Description:
The basis of the piece is a soundtrack performed by the computer/media player. All the sounds come from equipment and facilities related to water: radiator, water pipes, electric kettle, electric water pump, air dryer condensing water, cistern toilet seat, etc.. Some of them were tuned (tempered), but most of them stay intact. Another important element are the vocal effects performed live by four singers: SATB. The song does not use any specific words in any language.
The score of the piece (PDF) and the "hydraulic" soundtrack (zipped MP3) are available in the Files section (below).
