Walter De Maria - Drums and Nature (self-released, 2000)...

Two songs from reknowned sculptor Walter De Maria featuring a tribal drumming pattern and the sounds of nature. The two pieces included were originally recorded in 1964 and 1968; this CD was pressed on the occasion of a later exhibition of De Maria's work. He played the drums on 'Henry Flynt & The Insurections - I Don't Wanna' released on Locust Music and is also known for his Land Art sculpture 'Lightning Field' out in the New Mexican Desert.

Note:
The CD credits "Cricket Music" as track 1, and "Ocean Music" as track 2, but on the recording itself they're in reverse order (Listing below reflects actual recording).

Tracklisting:

1 Ocean Music (1968) (20:29)
2 Cricket Music (1964) (24:34)
