Download the MP3s below to your MP3 player. Notice that the titles are numbered. These correspond to the numbered positions on the map of the water tower observatory. The recordings were composed expressly to be listened to at those locations and viewpoints. It is not necessary to play them in order, but doing so could ensure that you are listening to the appropriate piece for the position or viewpoint where you are at. Next to each MP3 link, you can
find
the composer's name and a description to orient yourself with the relative perspective (i.e. which direction to look). See Composers for bio info.
If you do NOT have an MP3 player, you can check out a cd walkman with the compositions at the Seattle Asian Art Museum during museum hours.
