Description

Score for a Hole in the Ground is a triple award winning work. Having been the recipient of the first PRS Foundation New Music Award, it went on to receive the Rouse Kent Public Art Award and the British Composer Award for New Media. Inspired by suikinkutsu water chimes found in temple gardens of Japan, Score for a Hole in the Ground uses tuned percussive instruments, played by falling water, to create music. Finer describes his piece as 'both music and an integrated part of the landscape and the forces that operate on it and in it'. The sound element of this piece is extremely subtle. It requires time to allow the visitor to tune their ear to the level of sound and is affected by weather and ambient noise.
