Tom Heasley On the Sensations of Tone (CD)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: On the Sensations of ToneCondition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Forget Sousa and clown marches. This is an otherworldly drone experience. A cavernous panorama of sonic exploration: delicious deep drones; spiraling swells of brass shifting like seismic plates. Like LaMonte Youngs "Well-Tuned Piano," Stuart Dempsters trombone drones, or Mains "Firmament," Tom Heasleys digitally manipulated tuba conjures up a distant cosmos that we can only hope to visit. REVIEW " A cosseting lull of warm tones as smooth as a sandy beach seen from a distance." -- Antony Burnham From Metamorphic Journeyman-monthly e-mag. "Chilling and atmospheric- who knew the tuba could do that? ...An evocative piece of music to be reckoned with." -- TJ Norris From Just Out "On The Sensations of Tone is full with a stark depth that could be called mind yoga." -- TJ Norris From Just Out "This is by far, the ambient release of the year (and its only June!)" -- TJ Norris From Just Out "A subtle work, but one that is surprisingly invigorating. The calming tones both energize and sooth. Highly recommended." -- Phil Derby From Sequences Magazine ABOUT THE ARTIST California Bay Area-based Tom Heasley is an internationally active composer, performer, tubist, improvisor and recording artist whose compositions for electro-acoustic tuba create "a rich and sonorous aural experience that flies in the face of all the dumb cliches about what tuba music is."
