The concept:
The musical Grocery offers unique and unlikely marriage of local products, all at once musical and
agricultural. This ephemeral kiosk, presented this year by songwriters Jerome Mining and
Tristan Malavoy, as well as visual artist Marie-Pierre Normand, offers an entertaining encounter
between music creators, farmers and walkers curious! For the sum of 99 cents,
everyone can get a fruit or vegetable that musical feed at once his senses, body and
his mind.
At the invitation of the Grocery Music, 24 craftsmen from diverse musical backgrounds and 3 farmers
region will reveal unpublished productions vegetable or fruit size. All these fruits and
musical vegetables produced locally and will only be available on the event website
during the festival.
In a booth made with poor and recyclable materials, the walker may, through
revolutionary technology, very close to the magic, « taste » fruit and vegetables musical. In
returning home, he can enjoy the contents of the shopping basket and download music
via a dedicated website for this ephemeral project.
The aim of the game design, friendly and poetic relationship is to the people that make
push songs, with humans who grow fruits and vegetables and others
who relish. Culture and Agriculture: same roots, same struggles, the same needs, the same
essential pleasures?

EXCERPTS FROM THE 2012 EDITION PRESSES:
« With the music format has become increasingly virtual, it was among other things to give him a
flavor, texture, it again become a physical object. But also, for me, link producers
local fruits and vegetables to local creators of music, this is symbolic. »
(Jerome Mining – 24h – Friday, August 31, 2012)
« It still takes a sense of humor to participate in this project, because it is wacky. Same
if there is a philosophical side behind a reflection on the loss of materiality of music
associating a digestible object. »
