The synthesizer was born to create new sounds which no acoustic instrument did make at the time. And now you made an acoustic instrument to imitate those then new synth sounds!

Yes, I got a lot of sounds that sounds "electronic" because similar sounds was only known as synthetic, but if piano was never invented, it probably sounds synthetic too!

I think the most impressive/unexpected thing was when you played the instrument by blowing over the pipes for a sustained note, that makes it way more versatile. It's like an air violin with 'plucked' and 'bowed' modes, very cool.

That was just so cool! 😁 Fun fact: “Popcorn” was done by a group called Hot Butter. To make it even more strange, if you have the old 45 (like I do), the B side is a song called “At The Movies” 😂

if you spin around a 1metre length of flexible pvc conduit you can use it for your synth sounds. it produces tones (without attack) depending on tip velocity. Plus you can blow into a 4m length of rigid pvc like a trumpet until it resonates. 20mm rigid inside 25mm rigid will make a trombone. building sites are musical places on a friday.

I remember hearing the Song Popcorn when I was ten. I was fascinated by that Song and became early on a fan of Electronic Music . I've heard many remixes but nothing compares to the Version that was released by Hot Butter in 1972 .Gershon kingsley composed the Original " Popcorn " in 1969 for His solo album " Music To Moog By ". I remember well, listening to Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre when I was a Child too, once I found a Canadian Radio Channel that featured the more Avant Garde music . From that beginning when I "got hooked" , I enjoy Electronic Dance Music to this day .

Truly amazing and what's really impressive too is the sheer patience in the build process. That's a lot of work to be able to figure out the correct lengths of each pipe to get the right tone/note.

Yup, believe it or not, this was done in 1972. The Moog synthesizer (named after Robert Moog) had just come out. Moog’s new toy was used by “Hot Butter” for their famous hit ‘Popcorn’, and B-side ‘At The Movies’ as one of the first demonstrations of the synth’s capability. I was just a young kid at the time, but was fascinated with the sound.

@@mississaugadave7270 Wrong. Popcorn originally came out in 1969, written and recorded by early Moog pioneer Gershon Kingsley. His "Music to Moog By" album is a landmark synth album, and his work with Jean-Jacques Perrey is legendary.
