Just in case you were going to be sitting around on a (potentially cold & rainy) weekend – here’s some inspiration to go and raid the veggie crisper draws in your fridge. No, not to make some soup (although you could do that later…), but to make some musical instruments out of your vegetables and assemble a vegetable orchestra to make some music/noise.
Instead of guitars and drums, the vegetable orchestra plays cucumb-o-phones, radish-marimbas, carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, and other freshly made instruments. Maybe lots of fun, but some how I’m not seeing any Stradivarius type vegetable instruments lasting the distance…
“Worldwide one of a kind, the Vegetable Orchestra performs on instruments made of fresh vegetables. The utilization of various ever refined vegetable instruments creates a musically and aesthetically unique sound universe.”
Check out the video below of the Vegetable Orchestra recording their third album ONIONOISE.
Then there’s the original six minute Vegetable Orchestra video from 2007
