sheet zinc, water, glass, newspaper clippings.

"Score for disc (soundproducer) and sound absorber.

1. Condition: Water is continually dripping at a certain time interval, from a height of about two meters into a drinking glass.

2. The disc (sheet zinc with diameter of 30 cm) is placed on the glass. The water is dripping onto the sheet zinc, the glass amplifies the dripping acoustically.
Playing time: until the dis cis completely covered with water.

3. Use of the sound absorbers: Up to 20 newspaper clippings (with a diameter of 30 cm) are piled one by one on top of the sheet zinc until the impact of the waterdrops cannot be heard anymore." - Benny KH Gutman
