]]> http://idea13.org/2012/02/dandy-bloom-2/feed/ 0 Fri 3 Feb 8pm – An evening with steam punk inventor Thomas Truax http://idea13.org/2012/02/thomas-truax/ http://idea13.org/2012/02/thomas-truax/#comments Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:25:09 +0000 admin http://idea13.org/?p=10197 Thomas Truax comes back to the Railway Hotel with his extraordinary show.

Truax travels the world with his collection of self-made instruments, the instruments that look like they’ve come straight out of a Tim Burton movie.

Here are some of the titles of his instruments: the Hornicator, Sister Spinster, Mother Superior, the Backbeater, the Stringaling, Mary Poppins…

Your ears will be filled with a sound of garage, punk and avant-guard/experimental noises, noises that only a man and his hypnotic tools can create. Your eyes will witness his man-made inventions come to life, creating beats, rhythms and surreal echos.

The Guardian said about his performance: ‘When he performs, it is a spectacle – the originality and seeming impossibility of what he does is much of the appeal.’

£3 only on the door.
Starts at 8pm.
