The First Viennese Vegetable Orchestra

In answer to the never-often-enough-asked question: "what is a Cuke-o-phon?" I humbly submit for your listening pleasure the First, and probably only, Viennese Vegetable Orchestra. Listen, if you dare, to the almost entirely vegetablized version of the famous Radetzky March. Tell me that doesn't redefine for you the very meaning of vegetation.

"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..."

But wait. There's more. As so clearly evidenced by Transacoustic Research wherein we find an orchestra of "coffee machines, neon tubes and gameboys" and pehaps most haunting of all, the music of rubberglovebagpipes.

And the weirdest thing - some of this stuff actually sounds good.

O, what a world we make who seek to have more fun!
