Nicolas Bras takes the TEDx stage to remind us of the beauty found in simplicity.
Armed with nothing but PVC pipes and an assortment of simple tools, Nicolas challenges our perceptions of traditional instrument-making. As a homemade instrument builder and musician, he creates DIY flutes live, demonstrating the possibilities of ingenuity and resourcefulness.
Through his hands, ordinary plumbing materials evolve into intricate musical instruments, each with its unique sound and character.
This talk is not just about music; it's a testament to the magic that ensues when creativity meets everyday objects.
He’s classically trained for guitar and percussions but still consider himself self-taught after 15 years of manufacturing his own instruments and more than one thousand prototypes.
He travels all over the world for concerts, talks, workshops and any creative invitation that will allow him to progress in his quest for musical instruments.
Back to his workshop, he shares his projects and creative processes on RU-vid and other social media platforms to hundreds of thousands of followers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
