Since the venerable Vegetable Orchestra was featured on this blog, there have been others working to incorporate the botanical into their music. MaKey MaKey, a DIY site for inventors of all ages, have used simple circuits to create percussion instruments out of produce. By interfacing a simple circuit system with a computer, wonderful piano-esque instruments can be made out of forks and apple halves. Great stuff, people. You can find out more and listen to a delicious performance at CreateDigitalMusic.com.

Have you heard the song "Vegetable Man" by the great Syd Barrett? A very early, and unreleased, track recorded by The Pink Floyd in the late 60s (they later dropped the "the", along with Syd).
Must look into this...
