Water gong

At Mougins

[@neonlights3739]

Just wait for an earthquake to hit like *DINGBONGBINGBINGDINGBONGBONG*

[@enveloreal]

sorry i dont speak chinese

[@MorbidGuardian]

Death metal water gong

[@RustedCrown11]

*watching two big ones head for each other* brace yourselves, a gong is coming!

[@NoahHornberger]

when you are going to buy a bowl and it says 'our bowls have been rigorously tested'

[@noodlehead69]

So relaxing to watch the way they just flow smoothly on the water and the nice blue and white contrast is gorgeous.

[@aldos9553]

So cool. Using high quality singing bowls could be even better

[@seanrafferty6752]

Aldo S exactly what I was thinking!

[@ChrisPBacon-jl7oc]

THE ALGORITHM HAS STARTED PREPARE FOR A MILLION VIEWS

[@An_Average_Idiot]

Until the future corrects me... *_DENIED_*

[@099nine4]

69 likes, nice.

[@LittleWhole]

Welp, it’s been 5 months

[@XDarkGreyX]

This does remind me: too many people at my school called the gong (bell) "dong", without any comedic intentions. They just didn't know the word existed so they used their own onomatopoeia. No, they didn't do it to piss me off. Many of them were unrelated and still used that instead of gong. Keeps me up at night to this day.

[@benyay5063]

I'm just tracking one of the tiny bowls and see where it's heading

[@paulchubbuck]

That would be enough to drive me stark raving mad in about 3 hours.

[@MrDemoncrusher]

3 hours!? The length of the vid was enough for me.

[@jordanzazulak4375]

Some sound really nice, like two small ones hitting each other. Than when two big ones hit each other: falls of chair

[@coolminer1231]

anyone else feel like it would start to sound really annoying

[@andybaldman]

no

[@gubatananikkojay7842]

Uploader: I've waited 9 goddamn years for this.

[@chloegrace9193]

Every body like wow so beautiful and I'm just over here like guys it's literally bowls in water

[@ashleyysaks63]

Chloe Grace hahahaha

[@endlessdragon143]

They're (albeit low quality) singing bowls, which are supposed to reflect the vibrations in the likes of the ones flowing through the universe & through us. To me, it looks like they're moving purely by vibrations passed onto one another (of course with little initial "push"). That's the beauty in it, i think the bowls represent everything in the universe interacting with eachother and in turn, passing variant vibrations & moving in an endless cycle. This is all of course asian bhuddist speculation 🤣 but yes, essentially bowls in water!

[@ANTSMR_Dango]

Doesnt even sound nice.

[@Supermynci9000]

And I'm like that's actually pretty artistic.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

That's ok. It makes a nice noise anyway

[@Nouno470]

when left the faucet open but the sink is clogged and u haven't done the dishes:

[@rapddrstuff4053]

This gives me anxiety that one of the bowls might break

[@onesyphorus]

there was a game they played in highschool back in the day, I think they called it DiIdos & Swans, where they'd smother them brown & white D's in peanut butter, then stick them in a large tub of oats, then glans up, throw into the lakes and wait for birds to peck and slob on them, then leave these mysterious figures lying/floating in the ponds nearby. Worked well for the first few days. I'll also never forget the occasional summer droughts where the rivers just dried up into quicksand. it was even better

[@PalleSvensson]

Great idea for making the strained relationship with your neighbors even worse. I have to get/make me one of these. :)

[@johanneskiessling4085]

Now that is one lovely idea :-) Nature playing music (almost) :-)

[@alex.hleconte6007]

In the future music will be randomly generated

[@alexanderbrooksify]

w e e d e a t e r

[@BlissBatch]

Ada Lovelace wrote this comment in 1843. She predicted computers would procedurally generate music. In 1843. "The Analytical Engine, on the contrary, is not merely adapted for _tabulating_ the results of one particular function and of no other, but for _developing and tabulating_ any function whatever. In fact the engine may be described as being the material expression of any indefinite function of any degree of generality and complexity…" "The operating mechanism can even be thrown into action independently of any object to operate upon (although of course no _result_ could then be developed). Again, it might act upon other things besides _number,_ were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine. Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent…."

[@irmese06]

Also in the present. Apparently.

[@user-uj4ru1xo3s]

偶然性の音楽というのも含めて、ひたすら美しいですね。

[@kaseyplays9645]

It'd be funny if I have this at home and then when I'm hungry and I can't find the bowls I call my parents and say:GUYS WHERE THE HECK ARE THE PLATES AND BOWLS and they're like: honey we put it at the garden to make a water gong remember? XD

[@niallw3028]

that would actually cause the bowls to reverberate less, which would make them quieter. you could probably tune the bowls differently by putting water inside them.

[@DoctorJjay]

THE GONG OF THE ALGORITHM HAS BROUGHT YOU HERE

[@RyanExplosion101]

this is the hardest instrument to play.

[@ParadoxAAA]

I read it as "water pong" and was expecting someone to throw a ping pong ball in a bowl and have it bounce into the other bowl

[@Julibugs357]

Much better then any old wind chime.

[@horseradish4046]

This is very inspiring and beautiful. How do the bowls stay in motion in the water? Is there like a fan blowing on them in a certain direction or something?

[@geekyourlikeslulu]

+Remorf Chucket Good point. I guess the dishes clinging make waves on water so that bowls can stay in motion..

[@dorrivix4214]

+Remorf Chucket There's a small water jet on the left that pushes the bowls toward the center.

[@AaronLow1]

Oh... they're bumping into eachother.

[@VocalEdgeTV]

Why is this under "comedy"? It's awesome!!

[@MrThatwentwell]

@Soundchaser480 i think there is a jet on the left edge. notice at 0:18 the small bowl rapidly increases in velocity

[@ominousonion7197]

this is just a big ol' wind chime

[@mitchblahman13]

that's pretty gosh darn neat

[@n00kacola]

imagine you're all alone and you forget those things are in your house and the two biggest bowls hit each other and you shit yourself .

[@x5492]

@Soundchaser480 watch the left side of the screen, you'll see when a bowl goes near it that they're pushed away, my guess would be a small current of water pushing the bowls.

[@Twistedcrescendo]

It's simpler than that, even! That raised part you can see to the left? That's a pump, keeping the water and, thereby, the bowls in motion! :) Kind of like in an aquarium.

[@Chalepastel]

I want a 10 hour video of this

[@oogabooga2581]

sounds like the hyperbolic time chamber

[@theclownwithnopenis4]

i went to zelda dubsteps to this.............how

[@hollydawnhewlett9255]

Amazing idea...but I agree...metal bowls would have sounded less clangy....I want one of these!!

[@Soundchaser480]

Pretty cool! Water chimes instead of wind chimes. What stirred the water? And what us the venue in Mougins? Are the gongs on display somewhere?

[@greeneking77]

ok, back to water bongs

[@onesyphorus]

lmao this is gonna end up in a "2010s samples" video

[@kermodebear8091]

Definitely an interesting concept, but a different bowl material with more resonance and less "clang!" would be ideal.

[@tokie5234]

So that’s where all the plates have gone

[@SupraJin]

sounds like a restaurant kitchen

[@sul41m]

Did you watch the "water drops" video too?

[@SagucuTegin]

I need 1 hour version.

[@connbon]

I love the solo...

[@frozenfarm]

such a peaceful sound. someday when Im rich ill have a giant pool dedicated to a water gong

[@ignatiusloyolamulti1186]

Did you do it?

[@heru-deshet359]

That's my doorbell.

[@yohanesadwitiyo299]

_I've seen enough, I'm satisfied_

[@MrAnarchy26]

That one gong ripped it!!!

[@Skeeballman64]

WATER MOTOR GONG, WATER MOT- Oh wait.

[@mysticwolf11]

How do these bowls stay afloat? It sounds as though they're made from something ceramic.

[@kaye2780]

are those soup bowls or bowls made with metals?

[@ReginaVidaluz]

Beautiful! Congratulations!

[@dynamical.genius]

we’re all here early. soon this video is going to have more views than i have failing classes in school.

[@MUMS007]

Mr Horioshi3 had it when he said to put different amounts of sand in each to change the tone , as well as give it a slight dull tone. That way it's not like the other guy said. Like the dishes in a kitchen just making the same noise.

[@ConkerKing]

That would drive me nuts...

[@drumswhilegolfing101]

Ohhhhhh water GONG. I was confused for a second

[@MagicalCs]

Thats so cool! :-)

[@Diggles666]

Wow! this shit really hits the fan at 0:34!

[@KallieSimchaArt]

what a cool idea!

[@progustin]

divine spontaneity !

[@JordanBartholme]

Great to visit, hell to live/work!

[@deimos2k6]

wow, that's ingenious! The opposite about the silly algorithm that show this nine years later.

[@wigwagstudios2474]

really nostalgic video

[@harleysonder4341]

Listen, I really respect interesting art like this. I fact I REALLY like it! ...I was really hoping one of them would smash and ruin the moment.

[@RealityReikiHealing]

Great idea!

[@VirginiaMichelle]

What kind of plates are those? Ceramic?

[@nathanblindt]

i still take it as a compliment

[@TORMART182]

this is very creative

[@speshiled220]

same way giant steel boats stay afloat.

[@seZrN]

Kewl!

[@MelanieSommers]

That's genius!

[@pauldelrosario5888]

Me placing a bunch of bowls on the jacuzzi

[@YINGAI1995]

there is a current coming out from the far left if you can see. It moves the plates

[@the20thDoctor]

Dude I think your dishwasher is broken...

[@demonicphysicist]

I wouldn't really say it's a racket, it's a bit soft for that. It pretty much sounds like wind chimes doesn't it?

[@MrHorioshi3]

I have not read all the comments, so I hope I am not being repetitious. Each bowl could have a dampening item put in it to dull the sound to a deeper tone if you wanted. Perhaps some clay or sand. That way the tonal range could be added to.

[@EkaDeva]

Can someone do i calculation for bowl to make a sound like school bell in japan?

[@scotty]

Nice Idea.

[@dinkaboutit4228]

Should mix media of bowls, steel, brass, glass etc... Maybe add wood "strikers" so that sometimes it's two bowls sounding, sometimes only one. Would also add to visual diversity.

[@lesliengo]

felt-lined bowls

[@williambewise]

It'd be really awesome if all the bowls were in key. This is an amazing idea, but it sounds like a bit of a cacophony.

[@AimeeCharbeneauGrafixASAP]

ooo I want one!

[@davidhaney1394]

MAN THAT WOULD GET ON MY NERVES IN LIKE 15 SECONDS

[@mattkingnz]

what a great idea

[@ninthlyfe6838]

me when i try to put my mac n cheese in the microwave at 3 AM

[@CrisWhetstone]

Cool idea and it looks rad....but that noise. Ouch. Maybe with some metal bowls better.

[@demonicphysicist]

Well if the water is dead still before you place anything inside, and you start to add bowls, it will cause ripples in the water. Due to the added interference of each bowl it could go on for quite a while!

[@MrHorioshi3]

Thank You! I was hoping this comment would be taken kindly and not as a criticism. I really appreciate your comment. I would like to be kept informed if you try this idea. It was so melodic to hear, but different ranges of tones would add to the pleasure. I hope you continue to play with this natural instrument.

[@davidcottrell1308]

cool idea

[@MuffinHottie]

0:50 OH SHIT HERE COMES A BIG ONE! ooo Oo

[@zHxIxPxPxIxEz]

sooo coool

[@alextheartguy2394]

The whole gang ate breakfast in the pool. Just left the dishes with the fishes again 😒

[@Pringles313]

Can I do this on a hot tub? Or my Jacuzzi perhaps?

[@MrJashuaDavies]

Encourage people to toss coins in the bowls til they sink if they want it to shut the hell up... would pay for itself.

[@MrHorioshi3]

That is where I was going with my comment. Higher and lower pitches to extend the amounts of tonal values. To me this would be that much more enjoyable. Not unlike a great musician using multiple notes from different levels of the instrument. Water is a great idea as well.

[@TheAelmi]

@theclownwithnopenis4 Yeah? I came from vinyl wrapping a car hood to this....i'm just as confused about it...
