What would cheese, ham, and tortillas all sound<\/em> like?<\/p>\n

The 200 members of the audience for Edible Sound<\/a> will no longer be kept up at night with this burning question. For the close of London Science Gallery\u2019s exhibit Fed Up: The Future of Food<\/a>, veteran food musician Matthew Herbert was commissioned to play records made out of different food items. (In case you\u2019re wondering, beforehand Herbert used laser cutters to make a hole in each cheese and ham slice.)<\/p>\n

At the exhibit the audience was told to think about processed foods, and specifically what they were all made of, as the foods themselves played. At the end of the performance they had a discussion about the food industry. Herbert gave the audience the foods he had used for records to eat at the conclusion of the performance; pointing out as they ate them that people\u2019s very willingness to consume these products is a part of the problem.<\/p>\n
