“There’s more than one way to access the infinite.” – Daniel Spicer, The Wire
Thollem’s music is inspired by his lifelong experiences as an itinerant musician and activist as well as the instruments he has had the privilege to work and play with. He’s released more than a hundred albums with an array of acoustic and electric rigs, both solo and in collaboration with many great musicians on 26 unique vanguard record labels. Thollem’s solo electric shows include a breadth of approaches, many of which are unique works that are full performances of their own including Worlds In A Life, Electric Confluence, 13 Billion Years To Tomorrow, and the upcoming Silver Ochre Soundtrack.
