There was no money for real instruments so together they started to make instruments from trash &#8211; violins and cellos from oil drums, flutes from water pipes and spoons, guitars from packing crates. Children like the luminous Ada and her friend Tania, pick them up. With their help and the support of many in the slum, Favio slowly puts together one of the world\u2019s most unlikely orchestras.Landfill Harmonic shows how trash and recycled materials can be transformed into beautiful sounding musical instruments, but more importantly, it brings witness to the transformation of precious human beings.\u00a0(<a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #339966;\" title=\"Landfill Harmonic\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creativevisions.org\/get-involved\/cap\/landfill-harmonic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>[easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=7758 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;Landfill Harmonic&#8221;]<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landfill Harmonic shows how trash and recycled materials can be transformed into beautiful sounding musical instruments, but more importantly, it brings witness to the transformation of precious human beings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7372,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7758"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7758"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18362,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7758\/revisions\/18362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
