Norfolk Island's sewage system is well past its design life and is in need of testing to determine how well it's doing the job (no pun intended) While some music could definately drive you to a breakdown, a German company has discovered that the music from the Magic Flute and the Marriage of Figaro encourages bacteria to break down solid waste so maybe that approach can help us.
The German company Mundus is checking out the sound system which will replicate vibrations from Mozart's music and when combined with oxygen apparently helps break down sewage.
The company's founder commented that Mozart “transposed the universal laws of nature into his music”, and after all microbes are living things too. As a matter of fact, Mozart was supposed to have been inspired by a starling.
Sydney Water, not previously known for its musical appreciation, is monitoring the tests. According to Sydney Water there's no actual data, but they're prepared to try anything.
Apparently this new treatment method needs special speakers. Sub woofers sound about right but you have to ask, how do they discover this &^%&.
My favorite bumper sticker:
"Support bacteria; it is the only culture we have left."
