‘Thomas Gibbs is an innovative young composer working boldly with sound, ambience and tuning in fresh and imaginative ways. Gibbs’ recent music avoids sharp contrast, the better to focus the ears of his players and listeners onto the inner details of his chosen sounds. Building upon the achievements of La Monte Young, Haas, Tenney and Catherine Lamb, Gibbs explores the beauties of just intonation in soundscapes of calm sophistication and cumulative power. The future development of this gifted young composer should be most exciting.’
