Pie Are Squared Been listening to this album nonstop. Brilliant sound design, beautiful progressions and gorgeous waves of distortion. Favorite track: Infinite Now.

Adam Kocher Phenomenal recording. Few years ago, I heard the song “Acumen Fall” (at the end of Tom’s Podular Modcast interview and then later on the Patch CV records) while I was driving in an unfamiliar place, on my way to a family member’s wake. That track was a beautiful sonic landscape. Instantly, I was a fan. This recording feels like it resonates out of those sounds, and Tom’s sonic vernacular. This is his voice. It’s very recognizable and comforting.

about

Failed Attempts at Silence is a pursuit to re-secure place and presence over time. Hall’s slowest recordings to date fuse qualitative approaches to past, present, and future present, with refined consideration of width within time. Failed Attempts at Silence progresses, moving lovingly, slowly, darkly, and aggressively, emerging a more spacious silence than it began.

“There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.” - John Cage, Silence: Lectures and Writings.

about

Tom Hall Lake Arrowhead, California

Hall works with a deep fascination with the interpolation of time, the exploration of peripheral environments, phenomenology, and the non-linearity of everyday life. Drawing from diverse approaches, He recontextualizes these concepts to create soundscapes and visual imagery that merge in hybrid audio-visual environments, offering unique translations of temporality.
