Bring new meaning to “it’s the journey not the destination” with a trip like no other. All aboard this immersive sound experience, as an everyday commuter train morphs into an extraordinary ride.

Tekno Train by Paul Mac, curated and composed by visionary musician and train-lover Paul Mac, reimagines the daily commute as a symphony of rhythmic beats and pulsing visuals.

"Trains have always fascinated me. Their mix of rhythmic clicks and clacks, the screech of metal on metal, the sound and smell of air brakes in underground tunnels, and a complex system of signals and points that magically control your journey and destination." – Paul Mac

Choose between The Scenic Route and the Tech Express route, as each becomes a responsive canvas and techno soundscape.

As your train moves, your journey through the city or across the Harbour Bridge becomes interactive. As the train accelerates and the terrain outside changes, the environment onboard shifts and responds, inviting passengers to be fully in the moment.

Tekno Train by Paul Mac isn't just a trip, it’s a communal invitation to tap into the hidden rhythm of our city. An opportunity to see city life through the eyes of one of Australia’s best musicians.

Tekno Train is produced by Performing Lines and presented by Vivid Sydney 2024. It is supported by the NSW Government through Destination NSW and Create NSW, the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its primary arts investment and advisory body, and the Wales Family Foundation.
