#3759: Wind and Water
Listen to music made by wind and/or water on this New Sounds. There’s music by the Bay-Area based electro-acoustic duo Dirtwire, and a song constructed entirely of breath moving across bottles. Then, listen to music for waterphone, an instrument invented by Richard Waters, which looks vaguely like a drum-shaped thing with bars and is played with a bow. Hear “Eclipse for the Moon” by the Robert Minden Ensemble, featuring waterphone, no electronics, samplers, or synthesizers.
Then, hear music created by blowing into glass bottles, by pouring water through a glass tube, or by playing glasses with different amounts of water in them to change the pitch. Hear music from Brazilian instrument-building team Uakti, a work by Daniel Lentz for wine glasses, and something by Miguel Frasconi, the co-founder of the Glass Orchestra, and more.
