Thomas William Hill - Furnace by Village Green Recordings published on 2019-04-02T11:30:46Z Taken from Thomas William Hill's upcoming album 'Grains of Space' The album started life as a series of minimal loops, recorded using a viola da gamba – a stringed instrument most popular in the Renaissance and Baroque eras – and a loop pedal. Using the negative space within each loop as the primary drive for composing, Thomas began a process of ‘joining the dots'. “I began to see these loops - and recorded music in general - as a kind of fixed perspective that could be exploited. In isolation, a single layer may be no more than one or two notes punctuating four bars of silence, but when laid over multiple variations on that theme, disparate notes start to dance with each other and new connections take form, like constellations or deconstructed sentences.” Pre-order here: https://VillageGreen.lnk.to/7YpUIWE Genre Ambient Comment by DJS the act of composing this seems like the act of painting to me - adding layers 2023-03-22T04:16:29Z Comment by Amin Nadi Perfect 2021-12-04T12:41:50Z Comment by cotton beast bliss 2021-02-22T21:05:09Z Comment by bbcversus Incredible! 2019-07-12T08:29:43Z Comment by The Slow Music Movement Nudging classical music into more accessible & 21st century relevant forms, Nottingham's one man orchestra Thomas William Hill, has crafted a wonderfully moving, global instrument uniting, viola da gamba looped & rooted, modern compositional electronic fusion of the highest order for Village Green Recordings 2019-05-23T08:47:30Z Comment by Tejax beautiful transition... 2019-04-29T10:25:26Z Comment by Valeska Rautenberg so beautiful! 2019-04-25T14:15:46Z
