The Vegetable Orchestra
28. März 2022, ab 11.00 Uhr Tabakfabrik Linz, Peter-Behrens-Platz 8-9, 4020 Linz
Das Tangible Music Lab lädt zum Gastvortrag und Workshop. The Vegetable Orchestra was founded in 1998. Based in Vienna, the Vegetable Orchestra plays concerts all over the world. Worldwide one of a kind, the Vegetable Orchestra performs on instruments made of fresh vegetables. The utilization of various ever refined vegetable instruments creates a musically and aesthetically unique sound universe. There are no musical boundaries for the Vegetable Orchestra. The most diverse music styles fuse here – contemporary music, beat-oriented House tracks, experimental Electronic, Free Jazz, Noise, Dub, Clicks’n’Cuts – the musical scope of the ensemble expands consistently, and recently developed vegetable instruments and their inherent sounds often determine the direction.All the instruments used are exclusively made from vegetables: from fresh as well as dried plant material such as carrot, leek, celery root, artichoke, dried pumpkin and onion skin. All these components are used for building organic instruments and sound generators which usually only last for one concert or one day in the studio. In addition to the vegetables, various utensils like record players or power drills are used to create unusual noises and to add unexpected texture to the music. Lecture (11 am) and workshop (1pm to 4pm) conducted by Jürgen Berlakovich and Barbara Kaiser The Vegetable Orchestra.pdf tamlab.ufg.at/events/the-vegetable-orchestra www.vegetableorchestra.org
