Water Music
Sounds from the cycle of water recorded 1992-2001. Selected and edited field recordings loosely based around a physical theme - the overland journey of water molecules from upland loch, down stream and river valley to the sea. The pieces explore the abstract rhythms and varied timbre of moving water, as well as the ambiences of the waterside environments it creates. This album available as CDr duplication. No voice-over, instrumental music or effects added.
