music with taste

the first viennese vegetable orchestra consists exclusively of
vegetable-based instruments, although where necessary, additional
kitchen utensils such as knives or mixers are employed. this creates
an
autonomous and totally novel type of sound which cannot be achieved
with
conventional musical instruments. marinated sound ideas and canned
listening habits beg for expansion! this music is a playful departure
from the conventional way of looking at vegetables as mere means to
still an appetite. the instruments are subsequently made into a soup
so
that the audience can then enjoy them a second time...

Now maybe they could record Syd Barrett's Vegetable Man!
