Impossible Pieces of Music

Inspired/stolen from my composition teacher who has the first 3
#1: getting every able-bodied person on this planet to simultaneously sing the exact same song in unison. It doesn't matter which song is sung, as long as it's not the Dr. Pepper jingle.
#2: Build a microscopic microphone and record the sounds of two amoebas interacting with each other
#3: attach wireless, miniscule microphones & GPS locators to a large swarm of monarch butterflies. Make audio recordings of their activities as they migrate from the US to Mexico, while allowing for 'bad things' to happen to the butterflies. Audio recordings and GPS tracking will be captured...

so have at it :joy:

Freeze a bucket of water with a contact mic inside. Listen to it melt.

More is possible than you might at first thought think. Like making music with some fugly piece of modern art in your city.
