Ponytrap
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
Powerful. Portable. Extraordinary.
Ponytrap performs industrial music, on classical instruments, with thundering robotic percussion.
Ponytrap is a band, an educational presentation, and an unforgettable interactive maker installation all rolled into one.
Quentin Thomas-Oliver
Quentin is a classical musician by training and a maker by accident - the journey began with a simple need: to find a drummer that would fit with his band Ponytrap. After years of failing to find the right drummer, he built one instead. Over a decade of development, the machine has grown in size and complexity, and now tours the world with Quentin.
