Is this at all related to the ancient hydraulis?

[hydraulist]

@ollieproductions1 The ancient hydraulis used water as a source of power to blow wind through organ pipes. A modern pipe organ is a hydraulis if the electricity that runs the blower was generated by a waterfall. The hydraulophone differs from the hydraulis in that the sound originates by water and also that the user-interface is by touching water. The hydraulis (including modern hydroelectricity-powered pipe organs) is played by pressing wooden or plastic keys, not by touching water.

@norinclayanger Dude, read the info, the original is NOT from pink floyd. That song is much much older, and noone is really certain who the original creator is, but what's amazing is that it's survived for such a long time, and is still being covered, even today.

I'm pretty sure the song is "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals.
