Artist turns 'fruit salad' into musical instruments [video]

There are artists out there who can create musical instruments with the most unusual objects - such as trash and firearms, for example - and the boy in the video above, American musician and producer Jonathan Dagan, decided to transform a “Fruit salad” in musical chords.

To do this, according to the Mashable website, Dagan went to the grocery store and, after connecting several cables to a variety of fruits and other vegetables - such as strawberries, grapes, eggplants, mushrooms, kiwifruit and carrots - he used Makey Makey to send the electrical signals to a synthesizer. This curious device is capable of turning any object into a keyboard, translating the signals received by the synthesizer into ringing tones.

So Dagan turned a drums into eggplants, carrots on plates, and grapes into bells, while mushrooms, strawberries, and kiwifruit were used to play random electronic sounds. After all connected and ready, the musician used the salad to play the song "Teardrop" of the English band Massive Attack. Amazing, isn't it? Check out the original clip below:
