#2084: Program #2084

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

Forget "oompah-pah"... Tonight's New Sounds features the beautifully organic, ambient music of tuba stylist Tom Heasley. The California Bay Area-based composer and brass virtuoso processes and amplifies his instrument through a variety of electronic transformations--long delays, reverb and loops--to achieve an otherworldly sound. The single "Monterey Bay" from his 2001 CD, Where the Earth Meets the Sky, is balanced by two performances from the WNYC studio: "Wright's Loop" and "Roulette," both featuring some utterly sublime low drones.
