Bras Pop Instrument
Acoustic. Popping. Pipes
I have always loved "pop" sounds.Ā A simple suction sound tuned by theĀ length of a PVC pipe, which is for me the acoustic version of the lead synth from the tune "Popcorn" by Hot Butters. Popcorn is known as the first commercial track to ever be composed with synthesizers.
I wanted to recreate the sound, but across several octaves and thereby have a popcorn instrument ranging from bass to treble.Ā So IĀ built a chromatic version of the instrument with 56 different PVC pipes.
I also realized a full cover of the "Popcorn" song would require more bass. So I built a second instrumentĀ to complete the popchestra, 15 extra bass notes, with 1 to 3 meters long pipes.
