Thagomizer is the dino synth project (dinosaur themed dungeon synth) of Caspar Kneale (yes, he is related, in fact mr Birchville Cat Motel is Caspar's Dad). Inspired by the vibe of retro dinosaur media, Thagomizer aims to summon a Mesozoic mood to transport you back in time. As far as we know, Thagomizer is the only dino synth project in the country.
