These Things Happen is the influential debut album by Electronica musician & percussionist David Van Tieghem, released in 1984. Although not his first musical work, it was his first proper album, notorious for Van Tieghem's use of percussion objects such as radio transmissions, a wine bottle, hair comb, metal ashtrays and balloons.[2] It was commissioned for the dance "Fait Accompli", choreographed and directed by Twyla Tharp.
