Tom Thum kicks off this night with a showcase of his skills. He flips through his catalogue of sounds and internalised instruments with fast switches from sub-bass-like drones to rimshot snare hits and whistle tones. The children in the audience, in particular, let out shouts of amazement.

The show’s music is all created live with Thum’s beatboxing, Jamie MacDowell’s guitar and vocals, a sampler and loop machines. MacDowell plays his sampler like a piano with impressive dexterity across its pads. Even the audience members themselves become an instrument, with their voices used to layer dense chords as a “human sample orchestra”.
