Description:
With an aim to upcycle materials found at home, Henry Chu has come up with the idea of creating musical instruments from used plastic bottles. bottle-phone is his new instrument prototype, constructed from a standard clarinet mouthpiece and reed, taken from his own clarinet. Attached to a used water bottle with the bottom removed, the two parts are fixed together using bandage tape.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, with social distancing many are spending more time at home with their loved ones. The creation of homemade musical instruments allows people at home to exercise their creativity collectively, spreading a message of hope through these newly formed unique family-orchestras.
