Here's 'his' web page on the Canadian Culturnet site.

A recording was released by EAR years ago...
Hugh Le Caine: Dripsody: An Etude for Variable Speed Recorder 
(Ear Magazine Canada compilation.)

In 1955 he recorded the sound of a water drip and manipulated it
using a variable-speed tape deck. He create the two-minute song
consisting of nothing more than the sound of the drip speed-up 
or slowed-down. Whew! That's what I call gripped by a vision.

Quite impressive really. Think "Karlheinz Stockhausen with 
obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). ;)

I'm still searching for an online recording. It's only 2:00 min
long.
