Tom Thorp & Ilumetris present Here, There Be Monsters
Thorp’s music blends melodic lyricism with complex texture and exploratory improvisations. Freely dipping into an eclectic plethora of genres from classical, jazz and world, for its inspiration. His work gently leads the listener into new territories, with subtle and intriguing style.
Here, There be Monsters… (AMP Music Records) sees ILUMETRIS bring to musical life the legendary creatures of world mythology. With ‘1001 Arabian Nights’, to Anglo-Saxon epic ‘Beowulf’, or the legends of Ancient Greece: the music bristles with rich and energetic story telling. At times dark, at times humorous or poignant, this stunning collection of new jazz pieces blends timeless folk-like melody; the intricate textures of world or classical music; with virtuosic improvisations.
“A dexterous player and an imaginative, original composer. His music and performance are sparkling jewels, that warrant serious attention” (Xpress Magazine, Australia)
