Thom Brennan

Profile:
Thom Brennan started creating his soundscapes and rhythmic journeys in the early 1980's, releasing his debut album MOUNTAINS in 1987.
Inspired by landscapes of the American southwest and pacific northwest, his self produced albums have defined a unique and organic style of sound painting...a colorful and private world of harmonic tapestries.
In addition to a series of solo productions, collaborations with soundworld composer Steve Roach appeared on the 1988 Fortuna release WESTERN SPACES.
Recordings have been released on Rubicon Records (Canada), Phonogram (France), Amplexus / Arya (Italy), Projekt, Fortuna, Space For Music, AtmoWorks, and his own RainGarden Music.

Review by mizukagami Sep 18, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Thom Brennan’s music creates a sense of wanting, and even an unconscious, quintessential need to rediscover what once was of this land. He offers inspiration and increased awareness purely persuaded through music. It is impossible for such atmospheric ambient music to not make a believer out of nonbelievers. I view Brennan as a proxy. The ancient forests speak to him, and then he speaks to us.
