Catch this show before the Fringe ends if you possibly can - you won't be disappointed! What a talented musician this guy is. Amazing stuff - especially playing the piano keyboard turned around so the white notes are at the top!!!

Really interesting performance from a "sound miner" who basically creates sounds from homemade instruments and sounds created from landscapes, think bridges, benches, tanks, walls and those kind of things. What works so well is that as the songs are played a video plays showing the artist creating the sounds, i.e. banging on an airplane, tapping on a bench and so on and then plays a lead line over the backing track on a variety of instruments live. Was very impressed indeed as kind of imagined it was just banging on buckets or pipes, but vastly more intricate and sophisticated, would 100% recommend it!

I enjoyed every minute. Paul’s creativity and passion were on display and demonstrated right in front of us as we watched his complex compositions simultaneously with his performance. A fun, relaxed, unique show that I’m glad to have woven in my otherwise packed-with-comedy and theatre fringe experience.

Very interesting collection of instruments played on film and in person … what a fantastic composer and performer.

This immersive-feeling experience gets to the core of what music is--connecting and being inspired by the world and people around us.

The sheer creativity and ingenuity of Paul's ability to find and create instruments out of things around him inspires you to think outside the box. It's a great example of sustainability and endless possibilities--to take what you have and make music out of it.

You've never heard hoses and saw blades sound this good.

We enjoyed this - Paul's enthusiasm for his sound and music projects is shared in a fun and infectious way. The blend of video and live performance works, and there's a good balance between the music and his chat explaining his motivation.
