Water Whistle Series
In the early seventies Neuhaus realized a series of now famous sound works in water. Each of these drawings represents one of these works. They show the configurations of the sound sources in the three-dimensional space of each body of water. As the series has a constant scale throughout, the relative size of the image on the paper from drawing to drawing reflects the relationships between sizes and shapes of the bodies of water from work to work. An example of these drawings, all of which are composed in the same form, is shown in Max Neuhaus: Sound Works, vol. II (Ostfildern: Cantz, 1994), page 21.
