Water Project I-II is a graphic score in two consecutive movements. In Part I, the performer(s) must form a singular sonic gesture that increases uniformly in dynamic and intensity throughout the movement. The performer(s) are invited to visualise the formation of a single droplet of water, increasing in volume at a constant rate until the weight of the droplet exceeds its adhesive potential and causes it to fall.
The imagined fall of the droplet delineates the transition from Part I to Part II.
In Part II, the performer(s) must begin with multiple individual gestures that form a cloud or shower of sound, and gradually decrease the frequency and intensity of these events throughout. The work concludes with singular, isolated gestures and silence. Apart from the use of water itself to produce sounds, instrumentation is unspecified and is at the discretion of the perfomer(s).
Parts I-II can last any duration, but they should be of equal length.
