Four-stroke engine with organ pipes as an analog sequencer

 This may be a totally impracticable idea, but here goes:

I recently listened to an old Steyr-Puch tractor from the 1930s. It provided a good four stroke metronome. The strokes originate from cylinders. Organ pipes resemble cylinders up to some point, so perhaps it should be possible to run an engine with cylinders that generate notes. Then, as you would in a sequencer, perhaps you could "program" / "set" gradual differences, e.g. in pitch, over time.

Obviously, not the most environmentally friendly idea. Just a nerdy thought for some industrial band out there like Die Krupps...
