Tomo by Peter Hobbs
The music on this album was composed in collaboration with choreographer Gabriel Thomas to accompany a dance piece by Atamira Dance Company. The instruments include modular synths, drums, trumpet, pūtōrino, ocarina, and cello fused with ambient field recordings from caves in the Waitakere Ranges.
TOMO transcends into a dream space of endless time as two wairua (spirits) cross between realms to enter the embracing arms of the long night.
