While out jogging one day, German musician and sculptor Armin Küpper came across a set of huge gas pipes. Intrigued, he decided to sing and yell into them andmuch to his delighthe discovered the natural sound effects they create. He later returned with his saxophone to play into the long metal voids, allowing the natural delay and reverb to accompany him in perfect pitch.
This sound on the tube, in this loneliness always gives me the feeling: Hey, youre not alone there, he says (translated from German). Sometimes I just cant stop playing. The nice thing is, when it gets cool in the evening, I sit down in the tube heated up during the day and enjoy the sunset playing the saxophone.
Küpper posted his first gas pipe concert on YouTube one month ago, and since then hes returned to the same spot again and again to jam with the long metal tubes. As well as his saxophone, hes also experimented with playing his guitar, which sounds equally mesmerizing.
