that is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my entire life

i have to say the true sounds of earth.. of nature are beautiful and this man made contraption is pretty lacking
-
I can make something that projects dragging noises too!! I was expecting something that was deep in the ground that would project sound overtime.

and the most misleading news headline of the year goes to...

I could get the same sound by attaching a string to a bucket and dragging it behind me everywhere.

You could run all the seismic readings up to sound-frequency range; - maybe play around with the output in a computer.
Run it through a dot matrix for visual pattern effects.
Might make a good display at an art festival.

Calling this music is just laughable. I'm sure someone out there can find beauty and appreciation for this, just as there is also probably a person who enjoys the shriek of a cat being kicked in the head. We have standards people...even if they aren't easily defined.

Than video is waaaayyy too long. The first 45 seconds are exactly the same as the next 11 minutes.
BTW is it just me or those "musicians" seem like miserable slaves?

They should have called it the wheel-o-phone, I hear the wheels more than anything.
Somebody get the Amish some WD-40

It almost seems like, from the video, that it's meant to be taken as a performance piece as a whole, rather than the crumbly noise being taken as music. With the title and everything.... I dunno. It seems like it could be taken as the futility of humans to continue on; the way the camera does close-ups of the people's faces, shows their struggling, and then what they're helping pull is this big, ratchety, clunky, screeching thing with some conductor overseeing the plow.
But yeah, I was disappointed by the quality of the noise. I expected it to be ambient and weird, but... yeah. Eh.

It's the "fingernails-on-a-chalkboard-a-fone" brought to you by the Jubilant Reform-Mennonite Church Choir.
...Don't call us, we'll call you if we decide to use you... -
Don't they realize it has to be sped up and played backwards, for humans to understand it?
