Copper Leg Residency & Gallery Metropol presents: Thomas Ellison (UK)

5. oktoober 2023

Vaskjala Loomeresidentuur alustab uue kontsertide ja heliperfokate sarjaga, mis toob residendid Tallinnasse, tutvustamaks neile kohalikku skeenet. Samuti toimivad performance´id teaserina, meelitamaks publikut Vaskjalga. Ei ole ohtu, et spoilime sellega residentuuri lõpuks planeeritava esinemise, kuna seal toimub juba midagi hoopis uut!
Esimene Metropoli galeriid väisav kunstnik on Thomas Ellison UK-st.

Thomas Ellison on praegu Ühendkuningriigis Teignmouthis elav muusik, kes on kolm aastat teinud muusikat nime Symbal all. Symbal on segamuusika, mis sisaldab elektroonilisi ja akustilisi instrumente, vokaali ja löökpille.

Mõned hiljutised koostöövormid hõlmavad muusika tegemist helikunsti projektile “Cities and Memory”, mis hõlmas välissalvestuste ümberkujundamist, ning laulu tegemist podcastile “Ears Have Eyes”. Praegu mängib ta trummigrupis, kus ta mängib peamiselt Aafrika ja Kariibi mere rütme.

Metropolis sünteesib Thomas mänguliselt elektroonilist ja akustilist, etteaste sisaldab elektroonilisi biite ja sämpleid, elektroonilist kalimbat bassina, hingeküllaseid tekste ja plokkflööti.
