For music with long wires, Alvin Lucier is the one.
"Music on a Long Thin Wire is constructed as follows: the wire is extended across a large room, clamped to tables at both ends. The ends of the wire are connected to the loudspeaker terminals of a power amplifierplaced under one of the tables. A sine wave oscillator is connected to the amplifier. A magnet straddles the wire at one end. Wooden bridges are inserted under the wire at both ends to which contact microphones are embedded, routed to a stereo sound system. The microphones pick up the vibrations that the wire imparts to the bridges and are sent through the playback system. By varying the frequency and loudness of the oscillator, a rich variety of slides, frequency shifts, audible beats and other sonic phenomena may be produced"

It's not for everyone. I'd advise you don't attempt the Alvin Lucier link ... 😁

Personally I love minimalist/experimental stuff like this.

 

Rather than going in an obvious musical direction, she seems to have taken the vuvuzela route.
