Felix’s Machines are intricate triumphs of mechanical music-making, using assorted detritus such as disassembled pianos, towel racks and alarm clocks to finally remove the human element from a one-man-band. Felix Thorn took two years to piece together this indecipherable array of machines in his bedroom. Once the solenoids are switched on, a giant musical box is set in spellbinding motion. A coloured LED light performance is triggered with each individual note to emphasise the delicate art of these analogue beasts.
