Gurglophone workingsGurglophones

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.
