 Gurglophones
An auditory experience
The only piece in the bingbangbong catalogue that uses any power, in this case, an outdoor air pump.
- Air is pumped into a lower sump of water
- Gurgles, ticks or boils depending on air pressure.
- The tube is tubed to a note of your choosing (non- vulnerable version)
- and several together provide a mild but pleasant harmony (non- vulnerable)
- amazing polyrhythms with low air pressure.
- Several designs available,
- Indefinite lifespan,
- Includes the outdoor air pump and std UK fitting. Manufacturer's guarantee applies
- I have successfully linked 4 tuned gurglies to one pump.
- Inline valves give opportunity to play as a chordal ensemble instrument - kind of :)
The main body of the product is robust, the air pump being the vulnerable link. To protect against vandals, the top of the instrument may be closed and a 'rose' drilled into the tubing. This severely affects the musicality. These may be supplied with different length tops so a user can switch them between to generate different harmonic relationships.
