NO, Michael Sutherland isn’t ordering NASA furniture for his speaker’s chamber, nor launching a burger chain in space, he’s chatting with busker Claude Woodward.
The Perth-born “Sonic Manipulator” has been touring the world for years with his bastardised synths and homemade instruments, bamboozling crowds with bleeps and blips.
After a successful stint in England where he played popular festivals and shows, his marriage imploded and Woodward, 59, found himself back in his hometown.
He has relaunched his act in the city centre.
“Synths can be quite robotic to play, but I have made them more organic by responding to my body movements,” he says.
Mt Lawley MP Sutherland is a fan.
“It adds a bit of colour to the city,” he says.
“At times, Perth needs a wacky side.”
