Water Organ : a  water-powered pipe organ . The paddle is powered by the current and linked by belts and gears to pump the bellows. Below the boxes are the pipes. The notes played are determined by sensors that measure the water speed, turbidity and the boat's orientation. The resulting sounds are a slow, semi-random sequence produced wholly acoustically with no electronic amplification. Watching is Mark Zygadlo, designer and builder of the instrument.
