Listen to local water.
Whether a trickle or a torrent, whether flowing through an open streambed or confined in concrete pipes-- the sound of water is an expression of the same dynamic forces that create the sinuous shape of rivers big and small, or the carving of great canyons over millennia.
This website and artwork present the sounds of water flowing under different parts Los Angeles. These waters are what remain of the tributaries that once supplied water to our great regional waterways, of which the Los Angeles River is one. And they still flow all day and all night, as does Our River.
Some people buy fountains that run tap water we import from rivers hundreds of miles away or listen to recordings of water in far away places to soothe their mood. During September and October, tune into local streams that flow beneath our feet instead. Listen to local water!
This project is part of Sound Under City by Jane Tsong for Our River, at Shatto Gallery in Koreatown, August 14- Sept 30, 2023
