8 years in the making, ~200 antique appliances comprise Michael Petermann's Stupid Orchestra (SLVimeo).

A. Love the phone
B. Great use of electric razors.

C. I think he meant "Stupid Awesome Orchestra" because it totally was.

oh man, i totally want to see a smackdown between this and the Gemuse Orchester.

i suspect the blenders would win over the carrots. i would root for the veggies anyway; they're more eco-friendly....

...hah hah, "root"...

Sounds much better when I make a margarita.

Great. Now I'm gonna be humming that tune for the rest of the week.

I'm put in mind very much of this remix of Radiohead's Nude arranged for outdated computer equipment.

This is amazing. I just wish there were more shots of the whole ensemble in action, rather than just at the very end.

Yup, totally wonderful!

Did anyone else mentally combine the rhythm of the electric razors with "Smoke on the Water" from a later thread?

Now this is industrial music.

I like how one of the mixers was muted with its own lid.
