Ready to explore the depths of inner space? The Underwater Flying Machine will take you on an aural excursion to the bottom of the sea and back. A Jules Verne cockpit /mad scientist's experimental fountain in the guise of a sculpture-instrument, the UFM produces and controls water sounds, both acoustic and sampled. It functions both manually and under the control of its goldfish musicians-in-residence.

This interactive installation is comprised of: the Pipebubble Organ, Funnel Fountains, Lily Pads, Starboard and Port Dribblers, a Bubbler, a Dripper, the Aquawindshield and the control panel. Navigational instruments include Vector, Propulsion, Ballast, a Fathom meter, a steering wheel and gauges for Hydrodecimals Starboard and Port.

The Underwater Flying Machine was shown as a work-in-progress at Lincoln Center's "Day of Homemade Instruments" in 1999, and is currently awaiting a grant or residency to facilitate its completion.
