Techno, rock, and ethno music was performed during the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra’s concert in Moscow. The musicians played dozens of musical compositions on carrot flute, pumpkin basses, leek violins, cucumberophones and celery bongos.
Vegetables only sound good when they are fresh, so the musicians make most of their instruments before each concert. Eggplant instruments break easily, so replacements are often required, but most flutes, xylophones and other instruments can stand an entire concert without any problems. Some are made from dried members of the gourd family and can last for years.
The musicians say they create new sounds, which ordinary musical instruments cannot match. Sometimes they resemble animals cries, sometimes - abstract music.
