about

The Sea, is the first of Nii Noi’s solos, played on the ‘nu water- pipe’, consisting of a large glass bottle filled with water into which is inserted a long pipe with a saxophone mouthpiece attached, emitting the sounds of bubbling water as though snorkelling under the surface as well as reedy sounds, both high and low, evoking the sounds of creaking boat timbers and sirens from bigger vessels, or the siren calls of water sprites disporting themselves on the surface to lure us down to the depths.
