Linsey Pollak is well known all around Australia as a musician, instrument maker, composer, musical director and community music facilitator. He has toured his solo shows extensively in Europe and Asia since 1996.

He established The Multicultural Arts Centre of WA and has co-ordinated five Cross-cultural Music Ensembles in three different States. He has also performed at most major Festivals around Australia and recorded 24 albums with various groups.

He has worked as a musical instrument maker for over 30 years and has designed a number of new wind instruments as well as specialising in woodwind instruments from Eastern Europe (having studied Macedonian bagpipes in Macedonia).

Linsey has a reputation for making and playing instruments made from rubber gloves, carrots, watering cans, chairs, brooms, bins, and other found objects. First developed in his solo show “Bang it with a Fork” and further in the acclaimed children’s show “Out of the Frying Pan”, this line of musical inventiveness has ultimately led him to also encompass modern digital technology and develop his solo shows “Knocking on Kevin’s Door”, “Playpen”, “The Art of Food”, "Making Jam" and “Cycology”. He has also devised a musical installation called “SQUIRT” where frog samples are triggered when large acrylic frogs are hit with a stream of water.

Linsey’s current musical projects are his solo shows “CYCOLOGY”, “Passing Wind” & “The Extinction Room”; the street bicycle clarinet trio “The Cycologists” and “Transfusion” (with Tunji Beier).
