Linsey Pollak

Linsey makes music by live-looping self-invented instruments such as a paper clarinet, a drinking straw oboe, a Cylisax, a rubber glove bagpipe and “Mr Curly” (a contra-bass clarinet made from hose sounding like a 70’s synth).

Using these instruments he creates layers of music that will have audiences either spellbound or dancing in their seats. He demystifies the process of musical instrument design and music itself, but at the same time creates music that is (in the words of his YouTube viewers): “mind-blowingly fantastic”, “one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard”, “the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life!”.
