The pouring of the H2O
Written by Ed Stone
So Jimmy “rinsed” my water trick, did he? Well, dear readers and listeners, let me tell you my side of the story…
Way back in the day with my old Uni band (Sleepwalker, for those who want to look us up, though be sure not to confuse us with the Japanese acid jazz band…), we were recording some pretty avant garde music in the bass players house. We decided to do a track with some very basic music underneath and as many strange sound effects on top. We hit pans, opened cans of beer, turned vacuum cleaners on etc. And the best one was the sound of the guitarist pouring a whole pan of water into a glass bowl. It sounded like the worlds largest person drinking an entire swimming pool in 10 seconds.
