Revving it up 7:00pm Feel the rhythm, the horsepower of the showpieces and the show getting louder and louder. Sense the atmosphere leading into the unveiling of the ‘beast’. Unleashing of the ‘Beast’ Be excited by what you are about to see, never seen in the world before, a ‘beast’ of percussion, a musical tractor that will be owned by it’s instrumentalists. Tractor Music for this section was composed by Peter Rankine and the Tractor designed and built by Steve Langton.

Tractor Tattoo 2012 is a community arts and cultural project based around an event featuring the transformation of an old tractor into a playable musical instrument and the composition of an original piece of music for that event and a month of visual arts projects across the region. Funding for the musical instrument and composition component of the project has been provided by the Regional Arts Fund, Australia Council for the Arts and Arts Queensland.

A tractor is synonymous with a rural area whether you are a farmer, a tree changer or a child at school. Tattoo was chosen as the Edinburgh Tattoo is famous worldwide for its musical performance (a musical performance is a part of the project) and tattoos are also an art form. 4:00pm Town Hall
