tupperware + a crappy amp + water

We had seen experiments done with liquids, and decided that this would be a more readily controlled environment. After a considerable amount of improvisation, we devised a system in which an old tupperware container (we liked the fact that it was square, round surfaces seemed to produce predictable and boring standing waves, mostly comprised of rings of various number and size) sat atop the speaker. In this way, we could fill our rectangular playground with different liquids without the unfortunate side effects of liquids all over an electrically charged amplifier. Team Thunderclap only likes the thunder. We didn’t want to be struck by lightning.A bird's eye view of the tupperware atop the amplifier. This would be our home for a couple of hours while playing with this.



(Water before being bombarded with sound. Lacks serious coolness).
