Pond Life

Does anyone know of a piece called Pond Life - in particular who is  
the composer?

It takes the form of broadcasting microsoundish sounds and macrosounds  
to a concert audience live from a pond brimming with living things.

It might be a Fluxus piece?

Thanks

David

i'm sure it's not the piece you're talking about, but john hudak did  
a gorgeous piece some years ago called POND that i believe was  
recorded with a homemade hydrophone.

I don't know of this piece, but Norman Lowrey (and other Deep Listeners
along with Pauline Oliveros) did a piece called River Sounding which is
very similar:

His singing masks are incredible by the way!

I don't know if this is the piece you mean, as there's no mention of an
audience, but there's David Dunn's Chaos & the Emergent Mind of the Pond
from 1989. A 9:30 combination of underwater recordings from a variety of
North American freshwater ponds.
