Playable Records Made of Food

It's a tortilla. But thanks to the experimental work of musician Matthew Herbert, it's also a playable record:

Herbert calls his project at the Science Gallery London Edible Sound. He used laser-cutting technology to etch his own music into tortillas and other foods. The Vinyl Factory reports on his recent demonstration:

Equipped with a larder of ingredients used in processed foods, he laser-etched aubergine, onion, celeriac, potato, ham, cheese, tortilla and sugar into playable, edible records which were then fed to the audience at the end of the performance.

What songs would you like to see etched into which foods?

It's been done - the French did a ballet for Star Wars some years ago. The horrifying vision of C3PO dancing is still available on youtube.

Valid point Tim, I thought you were trying to insult her and say she was fat. Corsets (I think that's what the top is) can be tricky, so it's hard to say. I've seen some that practically cause spillage and others that make it impossible for things to fall out. It all depends on the cut and fit.

Oh good Lord, she's not fat. It just looks like she pulled her old tutu out of the closet from when she was younger. But thanks for the opportunity to make the breast cancer awareness line. That's so far my best one this week.
