Water Balance is a pond dwelling kinetic sound sculpture activated by balancing bodies of water. Flowing water pours into six vessels until they overbalance, tip and empty into the pond activating gongs to form a resonating, generative composition. Each vessel is a different size, and each gong a different pitch, creating an evolving composition from gradually phasing patterns over long time periods which overlap in different combinations as conditions change and may never repeat. The warning sounds of the gongs sounding as water spills acts as a metaphor for the crucial role water levels play in balancing the ecosystem of peat bog. Blanket bog needs waterlogged conditions to thrive and acts as an important and valuable carbon sink.
