GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — The sound can be compared to humpback whale calls with a sprinkle of alchemy. It might send a shiver down your spine — it’s a little eerie, like the soundtrack of a dream sequence.
It’s the music made with a Waterphone, the creation of Richard Waters of Gulfport. Waters crafts the instruments in the carport and sunroom of his house, using matching serving trays welded together, solid bronze rods and other common items.
