In the Attic Tapes three tapes seem to be for a piece called Singing Waters[1][2] whose master tape is 16:09 long, for a programme called 24 Hours,[3] including the lyrics "It is raining women's voices".[4]
The text is the poem “Il pleut” by Apollinaire. Highly evocative and literal treatments of this text. The poem’s graphology is apparently also reflected in Derbyshire’s treatments. [...] The label on this reel presumably refers to Penny as the singer.[5]
Tapes
- DD026: "Water Penny Studio"
- DD068: "Singing Waters" recording session
- DD069: "Singing Waters" treated material
- DD091: "Singing Waters" untreated material
Availability
- In James Percival's thesis there is a spectrogram of one of the makeup sounds (Attic Tape CDD/1/7/37[4] from 2'49"-3'00") converted here to noisy and distorted audio by resynthesizing it from the spectrogram
