What Water Tells Me from Mary Hamill on Vimeo.
A video of clean water in settings across the globe is accompanied by Ruth Lomon's original music. Three flutists were situated at the edges of the audience for the live recording in a premiere performance at the Pickman Auditorium, Cambridge, MA in 2001.
