Collections: Music by Thom Blum
Passages: audio postcards, journals, and travelogues (1995 – 2016)

Each composition on the “Passages” volume of “Collections” is a map, not just of locations on the globe but of my experiences in those places. Each attempts to capture and convey in sound something about the settings (natural and otherwise) and the cultures as I encountered them. In short each work tries to convey the essence of a place.

This is “denotational” music -- akin to what Luc Ferrari called "anecdotal" music -- and the bulk of the sounds are from, of, and about some places being portrayed, as well as being about the composer portraying them.
