TWM plays a mix of acoustic and electronic music, sometimes inspired by ancient or traditional tunes (Irish, indian or spanish), mixed with modern sounds, from chill-out to jazz, with a mix of acoustic and electronic instruments. The music of TWM is something that will make you dream. A dream you won&rsquo;t forget.&rdquo; (published TWM review)</em></span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #ffff99;"> The Wimshurst&rsquo;s Machine is a project born by the music passion of each component and a mad idea, developed between friends and colleagues with little time to play together &ldquo;in person&rdquo;.
