He immerses himself in traditional drums and forgotten instruments of his ancestors from Curaçao. He rebuilds the instruments and makes new music with them. Tony Roe plays piano, while keeping up with the latest electronic gadgets. He tries to imagine the future: how cool will our musical instruments become? What flashy new sounds are popping up? Together they play futuristic music with a familiar ancient beat.
