The pioneering Dutch ‘tech-jazz’ trio conclude their four-year UK residency with an innovative interactive online audio-visual feast
In the first of its kind, Tin Men and the Telephone present a unique, live interactive virtual performance over four nights from 4 to 6 June and 9 June. Seeking new ways to recreate the audience interaction of a real ‘live’ gig – and after weeks of technical trials and tribulations, plus investment in the very latest Wirecast technology, Tin Men frontman, composer, pianist and electronics-guru Tony Roe delivers a show, online, with the same immersive interaction their audiences have come to expect.
Using the latest technology, audiences can attend a virtual show, interacting with the band and sharing responses with fellow audience members. Tin Men and the Telephone have always pushed boundaries. Here they will present their brand-new show, online, to a limited audience through three host partners; The Birmingham Conservatoire, Sage Gateshead and The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and Turner Sims, Southampton Through the use of Zoom Video software and the band’s revolutionary bespoke smartphone app, ‘Tinmendo’, audiences can become a part of their multi-faceted, interactive show in real time.
Following the show, audience members are able to download the music they have created with the band via the band's Bandcamp page tinmenandthetelephone.bandcamp.com
