Huh...sounds like Tan Dun, but the orchestration is a bit bare.

[Jhonven1]

[radicaljonny]

[PerestroikaForSale]

HAHA No they are not from Seattle, they are from the Hunan Province of China

[janessathoman]

I play this every time I bath

[largolegato]

[shaolinculture]

I saw Tan Dun at Shaolin Temple last year promo-ing these sounds I'll post it and you can see he Monk's reactions, it apparently has something to do with Buddhism and the sounds surrounding China's Song Shan Mountain range.

Peace, Love and Happiness.

[gooeyfruitbat69]

Taoism, too... Taoism is "the Watercourse Way."

[shaolinculture]

I believe there are Daoist influences too as the area where the sounds of the water were recorded have both Daoist and Buddhist temples (The Song shan area).

Peace, love and happiness...

Is Tan Dun from Seattle?

[GreatTeacherRon]

man this guy was bored!

[ArseneGray]

well although its beautiful you are right...

[giuseppeaw]

What if the "Water Percussion" made it's way to the orchestra? Just imagine.... *Stairs into space for a few seconds* Sorry, I can't imagine a Water Percussion Concerto. @___@ (though it might sound good with strings? -.-')

If this floats your boat than that's alright.

(Yes, alot of pun intended there)

[anaklasis]

In fact, Dun composed a Water Concerto. I think everybody can enjoy this work.

[DarkMaximilian]

This is pretty nice, i feel relaxed listening to this, cause i love watter, sitting in a little river having water fall down on your head, ... and that sound... its just like a massage. I like that guy.

[angelica14709]

Is this the sound of the last clean water on earth and in a bowl at that? On the humorist side bathing for the musician must be a riot. Thank you for calling attention to water, what a beautiful and important part of our lives "UNIVERSAL" every person on earth.

[tommyk77]

tan dun has also written a paper concerto

[dangermuseum]

Hey this is experimental stuff. I see the reference. I enjoyed it!

The water is quite applicable in this instance.

[andrewlohthaicheow]

Feel rather stupid to sit through all these. If I want to listen to the sound of water, I would rather go to the rivers, the lake, where we have sunshine, winds, and things much better than confined ourselves in such a small space.

Heard that Tan Dun only use certain water from a specific part of China, as he claimed that it is purer. WHAT A WASTE!!
