The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra

The vienna vegetable orchestra plays music exclusively on vegetable instruments: carrots and cucumbers instead of guitars and drums. or, with their new cd automate, a cuke-o-phon and radish-marimba instead of laptop and sampler. the music presents a transfer of electronic music pieces and structures to the instruments of the vegetable garden.

There are however some problems. The instruments need to be made an hour before the show, and the musicians need their fridges full to be able to practice at home. To keep their gear from drying out they need to keep them moist during the show.
