"Ending 7"

Previously unreleased

Thomas Stone is an electroacoustic composer and musician from London who is influenced by the chamber music of composers such as Dmitri Shostakovich and Sofia Gubaidulina, and the experimental techno of Pan Sonic and Emptyset, among others. His work reconciles disparate themes such as his tinnitus and host/parasite relationships.

Refined through presentation in various resonant spaces (from churches to a disused water tank, Cornish coastal caves to the hull of a ship) his compositions use contrabassoon, sampling devices and drum machine as oscillators for his snare drum.

Thomas has performed throughout the UK, including shows at Tate Britain, The Whitechapel Gallery, Snape Maltings, Kings Place and BBC Radio 3.
