A SHORT EXPLANATION OF NOM-TOM trio
This trio consists of JACK WRIGHT, a sound-explorer on saxophone from Easton PA, CAROL GENETTI, a sound vocalist (as opposed to word or text) from Chicago, and
JON  MUELLER, percussion/electronicist of Milwaukee. Their first meeting was Sept. 2004 in Chicago, followed by another in June 2005, and then in the fall a very broad tour through the Midwest – Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Nashville, Lexington, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Bloomington IN, and Chicago. These events were preceded by years of collaboration between Jack and Carol, who have toured several times on the east coast. The discovery of Jon Mueller to form the trio was a moment that expanded the dimensions of their music greatly. The focus of the trio is on long, twisting lines of intense and sustained textures, broken abruptly by stuttered gaps and shifts of direction. They take acoustic instruments to the very edge of electronic sounds (indeed Jon is playing only snare drum, minimally amplified). In the Spring 2007 they will be performing at a festival in France and will be touring in April in France and the Netherlands.
