Modified Toy Orchestra
Modified Toy Orchestra rescue electronic toys from car boot sales and lovingly convert them into new, strange and wonderfully sophisticated musical instruments.
As the toys are taken apart, new connections are found. Guided by this hidden world, they seek to make a form of music which questions our relationship with the latest gadget and our desire for constant upgrades.
The Modified Toy Orchestra have played to critical acclaim in venues including Hong Kong City Hall and the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
'The MTO are proving that you don't need a synthesiser to make brilliantly strange but beautiful electronica'
