Amazing:The Vegetable Orchestra
A group of musicians in Vienna find new uses for common vegetables - turning them into musical instruments and performing a concert as The Vegetable Orchestra. (6 minute long video - amazing!)
"The Vegetable Orchestra performs music solely on instruments made of vegetables. Using carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, leek-zucchini-vibrators, cucumberophones and celery bongos, the orchestra creates its own extraordinary and vegetabile sound universe. The ensemble overcomes preserved and marinated sound conceptions or tirelessly re-stewed listening habits, putting its focus on expanding the variety of vegetable instruments, developing novel musical ideas and exploring fresh vegetable sound gardens." - from their web site.
