Anthonie Tonnon (born 1989) is a New Zealand songwriter, musician, public transport advocate and operator of Whanganui's historic Durie Hill Elevator.

Biography

[edit]

Tonnon grew up in Dunedin and studied music and history at the University of Otago.[1][2]

The inspiration for some of Tonnon's works come from current affairs: "Water Underground" on irrigation on the Canterbury Plains; "Marion Bates Realty" on Auckland's gentrification; "Lockheed Bomber" about the Canberra air disaster; and his show Rail Land on car dependence.[3]

In 2022 he won the Taite Music Prize for his album Leave Love Out of This.[4]

In 2021 Tonnon took on the contract to operate the Durie Hill Elevator in Whanganui.[5]

A minor planet 44527 Tonnon was named after Tonnon as a result of his Synthesized Universe, a show he developed in 2018 for the planetarium at the Otago Museum in Dunedin.[1][6]
