There's a great 2cd set of recordings of Max Eastley's installation works. There are so many great sounds and contraptions. 



Eastley and Toop's New and Rediscovered Instruments on obscure records is worth a few listens as well. 

And of course, another classic is Lucier's Music on a Long Thin Wire. 
I think there's an interesting conversation to be had on the subject of an installation vs performance piece. How easily automated or, with a lack of better phrasing, setups that require no additional human interaction, end up in installation-like scenarios with no fixed ending, or rather it will end when the gallery assistant turns it off and closes it off for the day. If it will then subsequently be performed, will it be seen as a performance pieces after having done the rounds as an installation piece? One interacts very differently with an installation piece than a performance piece, of course. Maybe one shouldn't.

This extraordinary album contains the results of five years' worth of research into new musical instruments and interfaces. Titled Meta Gesture Music: Embodied Interaction, New Instruments And Sonic Immersion, the anthology features musicians who crossed paths during Meta Gesture Music, a research project which ran between 2012–17 at London’s Goldsmiths College in order to explore new tools and techniques for experimental music making, from live computer coding to using bike lights and solar panels as instruments.

 

The compilation contains new tracks by Goldsmiths professor of media computing Atau Tanaka, both solo and in duet with composer/pianist Sarah Nicolls, as well as Tom Richards performing on his Mini-Oramics set up, Kaffe Matthews making music with sharks in the sea, xname amplifying electromagnetic fields, Laetitia Sonami performing on her patented Spring Spyre, plus Leafcutter John, Renick Bell & Steph Horak, Dane Law, and Ewa Justka

ah yeah love this ice stuff, theres an amazing LP by Ludwig Berger "Melting Landscapes" you might want to check out.

the LPs hard to get now but digitals available @ bandcamp. 

"Rapid ice melt has been profoundly shaping the alpine region in recent years. It has become an omnipresent and tangible phenomenon, and an iconic symbol of ongoing climate change. Over the past three years, the Chair of Landscape Architecture of Professor Christophe Girot and architecture students of ETH Zurich have been documenting the melting landscapes of the Morteratsch Glacier region, using underwater and self made contact microphones, as well as large- and medium- format analog photography. The sounds of the moving ice mass contrast with the eerie silence of the black and white pictures. The selection of works in this publication turn the evanescent beauty of the glacier into a strong sensory experience; they thus become meaningful witnesses of the rapid changes to come
in the alpine landscape." – Christophe Girot
