I am constructing a similar organ out of pvc and clothespins. I want to use the clothespins as piano keys, but I'm not sure how to cut off the air with them. I tried aquarium tubing, but the clothespins aren't strong enough.
This was a course titled "Instrument Construction" offered in the Sound Dept. at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where experimental and interdisciplinary approaches encouraged to using sound as a material for making art. I encouraged students to use their imagination and to use readily available materials. Some of them worked long and hard to make working instruments that have never existed before.
From what I see, tubes should have been placed in reverse order to make it more like organ or piano - the longest tube (with the lowest tone) on the left side and the shortest on the right.
it might not sound that amazing by it self, but it could make quite a good effect for a certian style of song. and just guessing here, but i think he had to make an intsrument for a school project... so thats the point
While looking for cool music on youtube I ran in the band Werring, I really think it is great music! Check out the promo video here, the music is very refreshing:
youtube. com/watch?v=e6lt5DEAvgk
btw, there is a link in their channel to down the mp3 for free.
2. Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm.
That instrument employed both harmony and melody, therefore it comes very close to the term *music*, so close in fact that it is. It may not have been good music, but it was music nonetheless.
if only it wasnt constantly bubbling... some sort of valve that makes it so bubbles can only come up through the tube whose respective button you are pushing... just too much background bubbling for me... you know?
Lmfao- it definatley sounds like a toilet wtf don't quit your day job. Maybe if you used an air compressor instead of a fkn balloon and fixed the leaks THEN you might have something and use wider tubes and more water.
YOU - the tax payer - are not competent enough whether your tax dollars which are spent on at some educational institution are spent for a thoughtful reason. Experiments are necessary to gain experience in a specific field. That's an experiment and I'm pretty sure the constructor of this machine learned many thing during his work. Oh and guess what - you need money for experiments.
As someone else wrote - if it sounds like a toilet than it must be a toilet.
So - let's go and invent a new toilet that doesn't sound like the "bubble organ" - Sorry! No one can convince me that some genious college professor thought that this was a great result of the experiment or project that they were working on.
Come on folks - let's build a new laboratory building for just such experiments. NOT!
for some bizarre reason, this reminds me of the first (and last) time I ever gargled. Someone told me my cold would go away if I gargled water, so I tried it, choked, spilt my glass of water, slipped over on the wet slate, dropped the glass (which smashed) smacked my head on the slate, passed out and woke up 10 minutes later with blood pissing out of my arms from the broken glass. I no longer gargle.
This is a brilliant idea. Well done.

Wrong
American Heritage Dictionary
Music (myōō'zĭk) noun
2. Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm.
That instrument employed both harmony and melody, therefore it comes very close to the term *music*, so close in fact that it is. It may not have been good music, but it was music nonetheless.
