Vivid Sydney to debut the ‘Tekno Train’
In an Australian first, Vivid Sydney has announced a unique light and sound installation addition this year, with Tekno Train by Paul Mac.
This experience will transform a Sydney Trains service into a moving, sensory sound and light experience for 23 nights throughout Vivid Sydney.
Exclusive to the event, in collaboration with Sydney Trains, it features an original techno soundtrack composed by Paul Mac.
This is accompanied by immersive custom lighting that illuminates inside all carriages.
As the train moves, the lights and music will rhythmically adjust to match the train’s speed and changing landscape.
Carriages on the standard K set train have hidden lights and speakers with synchronised lighting effects driven by techno music.
Minister for Jobs and Tourism John Graham said: “Multi-ARIA Award winner Paul Mac’s tracks on the tracks will lift a routine experience like jumping on a train into a joyous moment and a unique, shared experience.”
“Vivid Sydney keeps finding new and unique locations, and Tekno Train raises the bar yet again in 2024.”
“Trains have always fascinated me. It will drive the music and lights, turning a commuter journey into a sensory rollercoaster,” Mac said.
Tekno Train will offer two different 60-minute routes for festival goers to choose from, both departing from Central Station:
These are the Scenic Route and Tech Express.
Tekno Train by Paul Mac runs every night of the festival from Friday 24 May to Saturday 15 June.
Tickets are now on sale.
