Inflatable Sound

Except for Mr G.W. Raes do people have developped exciting inflatable skins into new instruments lately

Pneumafoon: van de vlaamse muziekmaker Godfried-Willem Raes. Op de kussens kan men zitten, liggen, rollen, wippen, waardoor de lucht bewogen wordt. De voortgebrachte klanken zijn afhankelijk van de bewegingen van de mensen die zich aan de pneumafoon overleveren, zich door de pneumafoon laten verleiden.

Dizzy Gillespie and Siamang monkey
The Siamang is distinctive for two reasons. The first is that two fingers on each hand are fused together (hence the name “syndactylus”). The second is the large “gular sac” (found in both male and female of the species), which is a throat pouch that can be inflated to the size of its head, allowing the Siamang to make loud resonating calls or songs.
