“Paul Snider’s innovative show features music made by hundreds of sounds – and not the expected musical instruments.  Think of it as technology meets science meets music from an entertainer who is an expert in all fields…Snider has composed lovely scores to accompany and accent the vibrant filmed visuals. He is an accomplished musician…and an engaging narrator…It is a fascinating look at sound. It is innovative, entertaining, imaginative, and a treat for the eyes and ears.”

Audience Quotes

“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!!!”

Patricia Brekon

“Paul creates amazing pieces from a multitude of sounds. Such an amazing and moving show. I could see him again and again.”

Diane Bonsall

“Great show and very interesting. I would thoroughly recommend. He’s a very talented musician.”

Rosemary Tate

“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 kinds 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 lead lines 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!”

Traviss

“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.”

Paul Zugnoni

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

Liz Hem
