This audio piece, titled "Extended Water Heater Piezo," is a rather unusual and intriguing soundscape. It begins with the low, resonant hum of a water heater, recorded with the use of a piezoelectric or contact microphone. This specific recording technique results in a unique, amplified sound, giving an intimate perspective to the inner workings of the water heater. Throughout the audio, the listener can discern an array of peculiar, almost alien-like auditory textures, with the contact-mic picking up vibrations that would otherwise go unnoticed.

The soundscape is somewhat eerie, creating a weird ambience with its distorted, metallic echoes and low-frequency droning. Despite this, there's an unexpected beauty in the auditory exploration of such an everyday object. The piezoelectric technique used to capture these sounds provides
