Water Music - Tan Dun

Water Music is a really interesting piece of music. It is an example of how almost anything can be used to make music. In this piece, taken from Water Concerto and performed by Luis Bittencourt, he only uses a bowl of water and his hands, along with various water percussion instruments. I find it really quite ingenious. Tan Dun is a composer from China. He composes a lot of music, especially using objects that are not commonly used as instuments, for example, his Paper Concerto, which uses only paper to make music.
