- Note
- Title provided by cataloger based on handwritten notes on original containers and reel hubs.
- Handwritten notes on original container of reel number 1: "2 Track Stereo ; Variations V (Drain 2) ; 7 1/2 ; Cage". Handwritten notes on original container of reel number 2: "2 Track Stereo ; Variations V (Drain) 4 ; 7 1/2 ; Cage".
- Contains the kitchen drain sound element used for Merce Cunningham's Variations V (1965); it is unclear if these are recordings of live performances, in which the dancers' movements trigger the sound.
- Sound quality is fair on both recordings; there is tape "hiss" and electrical distortion throughout each recording.
- Donor's inventory numbers: R105 (reel 1), R106 (reel 2).
