The Property of Water
Paul Adams

AAt the nucleus of this album is an interactive computer program called The Music Mouse designed by Laurie Spiegel, one of the early pioneers in electronic and computer music. It was the marriage of this deeply intuitive program with acoustic instruments and nature sounds working rhythmically within the compositions, that encouraged KXCI Radio in Tucson Arizona to call The Property Of Water "One of Adams' finest albums!"

The goal was to explore the meditative side of music, and create organically smooth sound poems that had an artistic sense of character. The result births unity within diversity and shows how a kaleidoscope of sound and artistic expression work together!! The listener searching for a "far away journey, an escape to paradise, and the union of an artistic voyage within an embrace of peace" will find this album an artistic and meditative gem!

"This album is built of contrasting elements reconciled in musical harmony. Natural and electronic sounds, water waves and sound waves, instruments of silicon and instruments of wood. This is music motivated by love of the power of sound, not by love of power over sound. Very restful !! Headphones recommended !!" -Laurie Spiegal, Pioneering Computermusic Sound Designer
