Perhaps Contraption is a multi-award winning, progressive brass band from London.

Part choir, part chamber orchestra, part avant rock troupe, they create a truly unique musical experience; melding elements of jazz, punk, art pop and post-minimalism.

Perhaps Contraption is a multi-award winning, progressive brass band from London.


Part choir, part chamber orchestra, part avant rock troupe, they create a truly unique musical experience; melding elements of jazz, punk, art pop and post-minimalism.


Perhaps Contraption’s unique sound is something like John Adams meeting Frank Zappa and Sufjan Stevens in an avant-rock collision; staggering through a fairground – beautiful and astonishing. Replete with irregular but irresistible rhythms, big choral harmonies and triumphant horns.


Their intense, exuberant shows won the Haizetara International Street Music competition (Spain) in 2014 and 2015, the judge’s prize at Cirque et Fanfare Festival (France) and Help Musicians Emerging Excellence Award in 2013.


The performance has been nominated for an Offie Award in the IDEA (Innovative / Devised / Experiential / Atypical) category, has received critical acclaim and numerous sell out houses.
