In April 1959, George Brecht made several sketches for a kinetic sculpture titled Burette Music, a precursor to his event score Drip Music (Drip Event) (1959–62) and its realization in the form of both performances and objects. According to these drawings, crumpled foil and paper would have been used to indeterminately alter the regular dripping of water from a burette positioned above.
