Audio: Tom Heasley (Hypnos, Innova)
Tom Heasley is an internationally active composer, performer, tubiest, improvisor and recording artist whose compositions for electro-acoustic tuba create "a rich and sonorous aural experience that flies in the face of all the dump cliches about what tuba music is." From cathedrals to bars, from barns to conservatories, Heasley is ... the ambient tubist.
Following the May 2001 release of his first CD, Where the Earth Meets the Sky (Hypnos), Heasley toured for nearly three months, performing almost
30 solo concerts throughout North America. With the April 2002 release of his second CD - On the Sensations of Tone (Innova) - Heasley shows himself to be redefining one of the world's least popular instruments, and finds himself increasingly in demand as a result. In 2002, Heasley was awarded on Artist Fellowship in Music Composition by Arts Council Silicon Valley. Heasley's music has also been suppoted by the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Composers Forum and the McKnight Foundation.
