Heavy Metal Work Orchestra

Overview

Electric drills and blenders are not often considered for the tender symphonies of song. Indeed OH&S police will advise ear protection in case of exposure. But for the curious among us who are lingering through Bunnings and drumming past construction sites, maybe it is time to embrace these daily noise offenders.

A new ensemble will be plugging in 12 heavy metal power tools at the Red Rattler Theatre. Accompanied by trumpeter Scott Tinkler and pianist Adrian Klumpes, the computer-controlled orchestra will be a world's first in the use of the DeMiXerphone — allowing control over any electrical appliance in pitch, timbre and rhythm.

Bring earphones and expect a loud and power-hungry performance. It's enough to make Tim the Tool Man weak at the knees.
