Vienna Vegetable Orchestra
維也納植物樂團
Has your mom or dad ever told you to stop playing with your food? No one says that to members of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. They’re serious about playing with their food. They make music by playing instruments made from fresh vegetables.
你的父母有沒有告訴過你不要再玩食物？沒有人會對維也納蔬菜管弦樂隊的成員這么說。他們很認真地對待食物。他們通過由新鮮蔬菜制成的樂器來演奏音樂。
This orchestra was founded in 1998. Its excellent musicians are not musicians by trade. “We all have musical experience in different projects, but none of us have finished classical musical training,” said Ernst Reitermaier, one of the group members. “In fact, group members have other careers that include medicine, sound engineering, computing, and art.”
這個樂團成立于1998年。樂團里的優秀音樂家不是靠音樂謀生的。“我們都有不同項目的音樂經驗，但我們都沒有完成古典音樂訓練，”該組織成員之一恩斯特·韋康邁爾說。“事實上，小組成員還有包括醫學、聲音工程、計算機和藝術在內的其他的事業。”
Members of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra are known for trying new ideas. They create and carve their own instruments just before each performance. Their creative vegetable instruments include carrot flutes, pumpkin bass drums, pepper bells, leek violins, just to name a few. Vegetable instruments sound best when they’re fresh. “You can’t play on a rotten cucumber,” one group member said.
維也納蔬菜管弦樂隊的成員以嘗試新思想而聞名。他們在每次演出前都會創作并雕刻自己的樂器。他們的創意蔬菜樂器包括胡蘿卜長笛、南瓜低音鼓、胡椒鐘、韭菜小提琴等等。蔬菜樂器在新鮮的時候聲音最好。“爛黃瓜演奏不了音樂，”一個小組成員說。
