Bras Water Pipes

Wet And Wild

Water Pipes is yet another weird and wonderful instrument from the tremendously talented and inventive mind of Nicolas Bras. More practical as a virtual instrument, the individual notes were created by striking one end of a length of pipe while the other end is submerged in water. Changing the depth of submersion changes the pitch of the note, while also allowing for other articulations like bends and slides.

Using a reference tone for tuning, Bras played several sizes of pipes and produced hundreds of note variations, giving the instrument real dynamic character and life across its 32 note chromatic range from C2 to G4.  We took Water Pipes even further in the powerful Soundpaint engine, creating 90s club organs, hollow basses and even mellow flute chiffs, among many other exciting possibilities.
