Tim Minchin - Musician/Comedian
I recently made another delightful discovery of a music-comedian who I should probably have known about a long time ago. Australian pianist, songwriter, composer, poet, actor. Tim Minchin began giving his solo comedy shows in 2002 and has won fans and awards in Australia and the US. His performances have been broadcast on numerous TV shows and comedy festivals including Never Mind The Buzzcocks and The World Stands Up. A friend showed me this particular song and since then I’ve been hooked: F Sharp
His sense of humour is so delightfully crude, self-critical and brutally honest that I couldn’t help but become a Minchin fan in the space of 15 minutes.
As well as being outright hilarious, Tim Minchin also proves to be a pretty amazing pianist. A number of his songs (including Inflatable You and Rock and Roll Nerd) include a crazily virtuostic improvised solo somewhere, which he uses to comical effect. His cleverly detailed writing comes across very strongly in his comical poems such as Angry(Feet) and Storm, as does his absurd dry wit as he recites them.
Tim Minchin has recorded 3 comedy albums, and his debut DVD So Live released in 2007 is an eager addition to my shopping list!

Untitled Mess
Because Music Technology annoyed me so much, I decided to make my project reflect my feelings towards the module.
I think this could in fact be even bigger than the Crazy Frog…
