Listeners at Water Whistle III, St. Paul YMCA, 1972 Sponsor: Walker Arts Center, Minneapolis
Sensation: Water Whistle series
I realized these underwater aural topographies in swimming pools heated to body temperature. The audience listened to the work, which could only be heard underwater, by lying in the water on their backs, ears submerged, nose and mouth out.
They mark the beginning of my transition from working in concert halls to making site-specific sound works. The basis for this series was the exploration of the new sound world offered by our different sense of hearing in water.
