Oompa Loompa Orchestra: Sweet sounds from the plastic world

The following instruments were recovered from an expedition to an unknown land, near an abandoned chocolate factory that many of us know about, which belonged to Willy Wonka, long ago deceased.

The factory was operated by beyond-human beings, known as "oompa loompas". The oompa loompas did not take long to figure that Mr. Wonka was a total crook, and they got rid of him. But since they were already in the melting business, apparently they decided to melt different materials.

They constituted a very inclusive society. Everything they did, they did together. And music was no exception. So they started extruding plastic to make their orchestra.

With or without musical skills, every oompa loompa had its place in the orchestra, and all of them were inspired by their community labour. Many compositions could be now lost in oblivion, but  we can finally not only listen to them, but also make some.

The instruments that were recovered suggest that the Oompa Loompas concept of music was not only a bit different than ours but also, to be fair, a bit scary and dramatic. Furthermore, as already mentioned, the oompa loompas were beyond-human beings, but they were smaller than us, which explains the size of their instruments.

Luckily we are able to get more acquainted with what they did, and with a little practice, maybe it will be possible, one day, to mimic their special talent.

Along with the instruments, a music video was also found, and it is published at:


 

note: “Melting Willy Wonka” was recorded using ONLY the presented 3dprinted instruments.
