What would there be without water? For this New Sounds, there'll be concert works aplenty about - and even using - water. Hear a piece from Karen Tanaka, called "Water And Stone" which draws on her love of nature and concern for the environment. Also, there's Tan Dun's work, "Water Passion" which actually incorporates the sound of water, and water stones (specified to have been taken from a river or the ocean.) Plus, music from Uakti, whose instruments are made of glass, wood, metal, water, PVC pipe tubes, and other found objects; one such instrument is the "aqualung," which is played by running water through it. We'll hear music from their release "I Ching." And much more.
