    Overview

    ‘Thomas Gibbs is an innovative young composer working boldly with sound, ambience and tuning in fresh and imaginative ways,’ noted Julian Anderson in 2020. His work has matured since with a series of shimmering soundscapes. Apartment House follow the first performance of Gibbs’s Sun Book with Three Photographs by Lithuanian composer Julius Aglinskas and Luc Ferrari’s seminal score, Cellule 75, for piano, percussion and tape.
