Felix Thorn is a British musician and artist who creates music making sculptures.
Self taught in electronics, Felix constructs his machines at home in his bedroom. The machines exist to facilitate music by translating rhythmic audio structures into a three-dimensional visual show and function as musical instruments as well as kinetic sculptures. The Machines are a performance device, but can be well suited to act as an art installation, theatre accompaniment, or standalone sculptures.
After graduating with First Class Honors in Sound Art from The London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London, Felix’s Machines caught the attention of the London Sinfionetta which led to his first installation in Autumn 2007 at the British Library. Felix’s Machines have subsequently performed at a number of high profile venues including the Battersea Arts Centre, The Barbican Center and the Royal Festival Hall.
Although they are mainly intended as a performance device, they have proved successful as an installation piece for parties such as in the final year show at the Royal College of Art in 2008 and in a solo public exhibition at the Gasworks gallery.
