Posted by: hydraulist

Video duration: 473 seconds

Suite for Hydraulophone, as performed by Ryan Janzen in the Great Hall, with the Hart House Symphonic Band. This is the world's first orchestral performance in which instruments make sound from all three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas). Other orchestras use only 2 states of matter: solid (percussion and strings), and gas (wind instruments).

Video duration: 600 seconds

The hydraulophone is an acoustic instrument played by covering up water spray jets to play music. Acoustic hydraulophones are often fitted with underwater microphones (hydrophones) and some are also fitted with a MIDI interface, so that water spray jets can be used as controllers. The main fountain out in front of the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto is a hydraulophone.

Water fountain that's a highly expressive musical instrument. You play it by blocking the water jets in various ways, which forces the hydraulic fluid (water) into the sound-producing mechanism in various ways. It works alot like a pipe organ, except that it uses water instead of air.

An urban beach is an aquatic space that appeals to people of all ages, not just children as is the case with a splash pad. Urbeaches are civic spaces that give aquatic play a level of sophistication that makes even adults and senior citizens want to play in the fountains.
