This is the original ‘portrait’ of the water tower from 2007 featuring John Grzinich, Yannick Dauby and Wan Shen-Tsai. The recording was made by Yannick who placed two AKG contact mics directly on the tower.

The second clip is a mix of two recordings of the tower in the wind, one from inside and one from outside.

A clip from last year, a video of John Grzinich bowing and playing the structure with the microphones placed inside for the best, most reverberant sound quality.
