Musical performance on a squeaky toilet flush valve

[DubstepSam]

hahahahahahahaha

[Overkillius]

Ladies and gentlemen! I present... *timp. roll* atonal music!!!

[chancreseu]

Let's face it: It's not music, though, is it?

[SpartanRL999]

WTH?...why??...lol stop it OMG ROFL.

[goodlad22]

hahaahahaahahahahaahahahahahah­aha this is something what vic reeves and bob mortimer would do

[ClifftonBeach]

this is what the Beatles saved western music from, as told by Howard Goodall

[Farfromhere001]

what in the fuck are y'all doing?

[k250014783]

Thanks. You made my ears hurt. I think this is exactly the reason any random sounds should not be allowed to qualify as music.

[s4dstech]

весело)



[SuperZed21]

Sounds like you guys were having a farting contest lol

[hibernacle]

Hydraulist, is there any way you can post another video of just the Plasmaphone?

[xumuk3]

Долбоебы

[retrocareermelted]

?????  Mr Johnson we need security in the Men's bathroom, we need SECURITY in the Men's bathroom immediately.. out ****

*** roger that Nancy

[mrlollol961]

what the hell is the fucked up shit. i feel like i just got mind warped into a telekinetic ice cream cone.

[AG3304]

NO MORE CURRY FOR ME!!

[SuperGameGames]

what the hell are you weirdos doing

[maddog050]

what an interesting school you have

[ButterscotchsMirror]

oh everyone in this video is so alternative

[SupositoryRepository]

@ButterscotchsMirror

No, they're the earlier equivalent of "alternative," they're "experimental jazz."

[sammywombarra]

how did that plasmaphone work?

[AirmanCylon401]

I would be very concerned if I heard that coming out of the stall next to me!

[beartowitness]

this is amazing.

do the score for a horror movie why don't you.

[CJP148]

at first i was like woah, but when the camera turned to the other people in the bathroom also playing along, my impression was ... what the fuck!?

[fernandoizu]

i love experimetal instruments, though i didn;t particularly like this performance because, even though you have the sounds together, you're not making a coherent song. Left apart is the discussion on what is to be regarded as song, so filosofy apart, this really sounded crappy.

[rochelimit55555]

very interesting, that brain girl thing is very gothic... I don't know whether to scared or laugh.

[ClassicTVMan81]

Who's giving you permission to do all of this, anyway?

[honeysucklefragrance]

It stinks. I'm glad it didn't last long..

[benabousatube]

it sound like shit hahaha ur at the good place

[evilkitten589]

I love music... I'm a music major in college... but that sounded...... weird :/

[bandgeekalways]

It was...interesting.

[eddkruger]

beaucoup d'amour de montréal.

j aime la musique contemporaine.

je veux un plasmaphone.

merci

[GogatsuKyu]

Um, what's with the brain power thing? lol brain music? -_-

I'm almost died of laughter

[XXn1927]

how does the plasma ball make that noise? it's super creepy.

[hydraulist]

It's not just an ordinary plasma ball, it's a newly invented, patent-pending musical instrument available from FUNtain (the same Canadian company that manufactures hydraulophones).

[mileylover786]

that is sooooo cool plz do it again

[xlinwenx]

this is the best fucking thing ever

[RazmanEX]

This actually has potential

[magretweiland]

great!

[hexachordal]

this is astounding. Water instruments seem perfect for atonal stuff. Ace!

Any recordings of this anywhere? And is this actually a (presumably wildly aleotoric) piece, or is it just improvised?

[BUnitLives]

Any recordings?... I'm pretty sure this is a joke, even if it is sort of a dry humor type one.

Regardless, you could just record the audio with a program and then convert it to mp3.

And if you try to say this is art, I will assume you are trying to sound pretentious. This is coming from a guy who most people would say has rather pretentious music taste.

[hexachordal]

yeah, you COULD, but what kind of audio quality would that give? It'd be terribly compressed, and I wouldn't be happy doing it, with all the background noise.

As for whether this is art or not - I'm amazed discussions like this still have to take place. Of COURSE it is. What else would it be? What, you think they just stumbled into a toilet and starting fiddling around with things and there just happened to be a camera? Nuh uh. This is planned, it is creative expression, and it is art. Cheers.

[Hammondlover2]

Half a dozen musicians cramped into a public bathroom with a handful of pipes, a plasma ball and a leaky toilet. What more could you ask for?!

[callmepaul]

uhhh so how is this interesting? what the heck was on the girl's head

[hydraulist]

This states-of-matter quintet was later chosen to perform at the big music conference, ICMC 2007, as the main "immersed" conference-themed performance.  It seems like it's of interest to the music community. Search ICMC 2007 immersed. The headworn apparatus is a quintephone, a musical instrument that operates in the 5th element (informatics) beyond solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

[spootyrat]

Words escape... Interesting vid!  (C:

[sherilyn222]

Well, Don't Forget. Hydraulophone Can Be Liquid, Too! =D

[sherilyn222]

What Is the Fingering For The Plasmaphone? And What Are The Wavelinks For The Quintephone??

[mmye]

Where can i get a plasmaphone

[hydraulist]

They're manufactured by the same company that makes the hydraulophones. Contact:

consulting(at)funtain(dot)ca

[icydarkness]

I like the sound of the plasmaphone.

What is it exactly?

And where can I get one?

[hydraulist]

Plasmaphones are musical instruments that produce sound by matter in the fourth state-of-matter.

[hydraulist]

Plasmaphones are manufactured by a Canadian company called FUNtain

[hydraulist]

.ca

[rsshulla]

what sound is the brain-machine-interface making?

[hydraulist]

For the brain-machine interface by itself, listen to deconcert.avi which you can get from a Google search.

[bcotd]

hahaha you wierdos.

love it

[embererebus]

wow this is sooo cool. but it sounds terrible. you need to collaberate with some seriouse musicians.

[sfknight78]

I don't care what everyone thinks, Band in a Toilet is way better than the backstreet boys.
