SALTINGS vs Thomas Stone
Thomas Stone creates his immersive music using contrabassoon, samplers and activated percussion. Blurring the boundaries between electronic and acoustic sound production the compositions explore themes of ritual, memory and presence.
An enforced simplicity runs throughout the dreamlike sound world conjured from slowly evolving motifs accompanied by a hiss and murmur from the percussion and pulse driven samples breaking to moments of fragile beauty. Utilising incorporated projected visuals live performances range from the intimate where the focus is on the physicality of producing the music to the large scale where the audience is able to lose themselves amongst the gentle dissonances and cyclic rhythms.
SALTINGS will do his best to destroy all that.
