Prepare yourself for an exceptional train travel experience as Vivid Sydney presents Tekno Train by Paul Mac, a groundbreaking event that will electrify Sydney for 23 nights. This visionary project transforms a regular Sydney Trains service into an immersive sanctuary of lights and sounds, offering an unprecedented musical escapade.
As the Tekno Train embarks on its journey from Central Station, passengers will be welcomed by a symphony of hidden lights and speakers, synchronizing visuals with the pulsating beats of techno music. This captivating fusion creates a communal experience that unfolds with each carriage, enveloping travelers in an enchanting atmosphere.
At the helm of this musical odyssey is Paul Mac, an ARIA Award-winning artist who has meticulously composed an exclusive techno soundtrack specifically for this event. The immersive lighting, designed by SimpleMotion, complements the music perfectly, dynamically adjusting to the train’s speed and the evolving cityscape outside. This harmonious interplay crafts an unforgettable journey through Sydney’s city circle, even venturing into disused train lines.

This unique project is a testament to the extraordinary talent of Paul Mac, who has a long-standing fascination with the sensory experiences of train travel. Tekno Train takes this fascination to the next level, turning a commuter journey into a sensory rollercoaster, driven by the music and lights.
