A cyclist rides onto the stage. He upends his bicycle and pulls out not a spanner but a bow. He draws it across the gear cable… and plays a cello sonata. The sound is manipulated and looped to build a multilayered, multi-instrument composition before your very ears.
Linsey’s bike has 18 gears, two wheels, one cello, a clarinet, bagpipes, panpipes and a formidable percussion section. Gear cables, bicycle pumps, inner tubes, wheel spokes and the bicycle frame all transform into musical instruments, as Linsey takes the audience on a ride through changing musical landscapes, across genres and styles.
