The first track documents this process for ten minutes, during which the players continuously watched the water droplets fall.
The second track documents the players continually rubbing the glasses until the water dripping is complete.
Both tracks make audible how the level of 300cc water gradually shifts.
Takahiro Kawaguchi's interest lies not in thekind of field recordings that focus on sound tones obtained in the field, but on the configuration of sound in a specific space. He creates recorded works using sound-making objects, presents installations, and he is active in the field of improvised music.For live performances, he uses instruments and implements for playing and composing, which he makes by everyday materials
Droplets of water are set to drip from three infusion containers suspended from the ceiling, each at a different speed. Each of the three players produce sound by rubbing with their fingers a wine glass that catches the droplets from one of the containers, with the scale changing according to the amount of water that accumulates. The first track documents this process for ten minutes, during which the players continuously watched the water droplets fall. The second track documents the players continually rubbing the glasses until the water dripping is complete. Both tracks make audible how the level of 300cc water gradually shifts. - Edition: 300 - Takahiro Kawaguchi http://takahirokawaguchi.tumblr.com/ - Photographs by Takahiro Kawaguchi Design by Shin Akiyama / edition.nord http://editionnord.com/ Printing and production by chiku chiku laboratory — Keiko Miyahara, Morito Kozuma Product Photographs by Morito Kozuma © 2021 Takahiro Kawaguchi Published by immeasurable
