Aria-award winning music producer, Paul Mac, will collaborate with Sydney Trains to introduce ‘Tekno Train’, a one-of-a-kind moving sensory light and sound experience for the upcoming Vivid Sydney festival.
Available throughout the 23-night Destination NSW annual showcase of innovation, ticketed passengers will travel Sydney’s existing and disused rail lines accompanied by an original Paul Mac custom electronic light and music show inside each carriage. As the train moves, lights and music will adjust to suit the speed and changing landscape.
Patrons can select from two 60-minute rides, both departing from Central Station. ‘The Scenic Route’ is aimed at families with children and takes riders across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and down to Lavender Bay.
Alternatively, the ‘Tech Express’ route will loop the City Circle and around South Sydney on what is being described as a “more lively and full-bodied journey”.
Tekno Train Creator and Composer, Paul Mac, said trains have always fascinated him.
“Their mix of rhythmic clicks and clacks, the screech of metal on metal, and the sound and smell of brakes are all interesting sensory experiences that everyone can relate to,” Mac said.
“Tekno Train will take things one step further. It will drive the music and lights, turning a commuter journey into a sensory rollercoaster.”
Prices for both experiences are set at $19.90 for adults and $13.90 for children aged 5-12.
