Can machines make music? A new music video remixes the mechaical sounds made by factory workers in India to pay a musical tribute to their hard work.

The symphony uses the sounds created by various tools, instruments and machines within a factory. Called "The Sound of Work", it was released by Siemens India to mark International Workers Day on May 1. The video portrays a typical day of work in the life of a factory worker, starting with the morning. Each of the sounds was recorded separately over 30 hours, and then composed into a single piece over 150 hours.
