CLACKY THOCKY POPPY

Clacky Thocky Poppy is a percussion piece for three computer keyboards, inspired by the internet's obsession with mechanical keyboards. These terms ,"clacky," "thocky," and "poppy" are immensely popular across forums and videos, used to describe the nuanced sounds of keyboard switches and the endless quest for perfect auditory satisfaction. The mechanical keyboard market, valued at over $2 billion in 2023, reflects a booming demand for customisation, often leading customers to frequent upgrades and discarded components. This contributes to the 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated globally each year. For this piece, the keyboards used were reused from second-hand sources.
