!!!Fire Water.

A metal plate measuring one metre in diameter becomes white hot. Above, a chilled sphere of ice starts to trickle downwards, one drop at a time, as the metal plate heats up. The performance is made up of a steel blade playing on the metal plate, to the rhythm and tempo of the water dripping until all the ice is melted. Simultaneously, with a stereo microphone in my left hand, I make a recording whilst I change positions around the centre of the plate. This creates subtle variations in the harmony.

Composition, recording, performance by Alain Michon. 
Duration 11 mn15.
Design and Installation / April 99 : Clément Borderie for KP5.
Technical equipment :XY stereo microphone couples - Neumann KM140-AETA Mix 2000.
