This week, hosts Anthony and Alex are joined by Multi-instrumentalist, composer, audio engineer, producer... Tom Griesgraber is known for many roles in the music industry, but best known on stage for his mastery of the unusual Chapman Stick. Until you’ve seen it performed live, his solo music sounds too big to be coming from just one person. There are acoustic guitar or piano-like moments, funk rock bass lines, ambient synth and soundscape textures, rock guitar leads, jazz solos and even small bits of percussion sometimes all happening simultaneously. To the uninitiated listener it sounds like an ensemble, but to those who have seem him live, it is the magic of a unique virtuoso.
