A sound proposal as original as eccentric: the viral band that converts fresh vegetables into melodies that run through the world.
When something goes viralit is not always by controversy or scandal. Sometimes, an artistic and literally fresh proposal can shine on social networks and capture more fans. A group of musicians conquer international scenarios doing the unthinkable: touch with vegetables.
This band does not wear guitars or synthesizers. Its arsenal includes carrots, leeks and pumpkins. The sound is not only unique: it is organicraw and completely natural.
Who integrates the vegetable orchestra, the viral band that has particular instruments
The Vienna Vegetable Orchestracomposed of multidisciplinary artists, began to sound in 1998. Since then, its members: musicians, sculptors, sound poets and designers reinvent the concept of Performance musical using carrots such as flutes, radishes such as low and pumpkins like drums.
Each presentation implies carving by hand plant instrumentsTry sounds, adjust forms and build harmonies from scratch. Tests require skill, but also resistance: the raw material dries or splits. Therefore, each show is unrepeatable.
The experience goes beyond the ear. After the concerts, the public receives soup prepared with the remains of the instruments, closing the circle of the sustainable creation. This staging involves the five senses.
The proposal does not only seek to impress, but to change paradigms. For them, any object, if you listen to it carefully, can become a source of sound. In fact, his music mixes influences from Stravinsky, Kraftwerk and John Cage with a strong dose of own innovation.
They achieved a Guinness record: what is it about
The group has just added a new milestone to its trajectory: a Guinness world record for the largest amount of concerts carried out by a vegetable orchestra. With 344 presentations in their history, they are positioned as world referents of this format.
Beyond the award, the valuable is the cultural impact. Millions of people discovered, thanks to them, that creativity can sprout to the bottom of a pot. And even a carrot, with the appropriate approach, can become art.
