Tom Thum: The orchestra in my mouth

The orchestra in my mouth

In a highly entertaining performance, beatboxer Tom Thum slings beats, comedy and a mouthful of instrumental impersonations into 11 minutes of creativity and fun that will make you smile.

With nothing but his voice and a few clever gadgets, a performer transforms a stage into a world tour of sound, conjuring everything from didgeridoos to jazz bands. At one point, he mimics classics like 'Billie Jean' and even turns the Sydney Opera House into a smoky jazz bar. His playful performance proves that a single human mouth can rival entire orchestras and traverse musical cultures. The act redefines what it means to create music and challenges ideas of where talent can take us.
