about
The Thomas Nunnally Ensemble ploughs the lightly-furrowed midlands of experimental Anglo-American electronica. TNE sets out to prove only intuitive theorems, using intrinsic mystery as its slide rule. Robert Nunnally serves as the ambient half of the duo. In his other evening job, he records as the weirdbient artist Gurdonark. Thomas travels the pathless land of rock and jazz-inflected electronica, and records in his own name, which is, conveniently enough, Verian Thomas. TNE assembles its work trans-oceanically, rather like a sonar ping deceiving a U-boat three hundred nautical miles west of the Canary Islands. TNE hesitates to impose rules or slogans upon the reader's view of their work, because they have witnessed the sad spectre of tired phantoms claiming new revelations about old tombstones,and the resulting howls haunt them in their sleep. Instead, they make a music which strives to enchant more than to experiment, and to merge rather than divide. They bring not a sword, nor peace exactly, but maps for daydreams, and lanterns carried by departed railwaymen, accompanied by resonant drones and sometimes even an energetic beat. This is musical claymation for the soul, assembled frame by frame, for your listening delight.
