This is a waterphone, and its distinctive music is felt as much as heard - in the hair atthe back of the oe and in the gut. It's the sound of a lurching elevator or a renegade fairground ride about to spin off its axis Invented and patented in 1969, the waterphone has captivated, confused, and generally creeped out audiences via film scores, orchestral works, and more than one experimental San Francisco concert over the past 45 years. OTe G Hubbert is now carrying on Waters’ legacy, building waterphones in his backyard workshop using the same painstaking process Waters devised. Each waterphone starts with a stainless steel pan, shaped like two pie tins welded at the brim, which acts as a resonator. Out of this base juts a series of bronze tonal rods and a Jong, thick neck with an opening atthe top, where the water is poured in. Fill the pan with water, and the rods via and trill with woozy harmonies when tapped with a mallet or stroked with a bow. Just don't tum it upside down, or the water will fall out. It fits into so many different applications because it has such a wide range of tones. There are all kinds of playing techniques that have yet to even be discovered. 3._E Waters’ path to invention began in grad school in the mid-1960s at Oakland's California College of ‘Arts and Crafts, where he first played an instrument he described as a Tibetan water drum - a round bronze tub, filled with water, that rocked when struck. Later, dabbling in the local hippie scene, he heard the music of a kalimba in a Haight-Ashbury parade. 94.9 ‘Waters and Charlton, both drawn to experimental music, formed the Gravity Adjusters Expansion Band in 1969 and began showcasing Waters' sonic inventions around the Bay Area, Other percussionists took notice.

Thrillers were a natural fit a ‘He drags a bow across a few of them, producing a piercing, metalic shriek.
