Bio - by Dan Shaw
Uncompromising, mystical, mysterious, ethereal, with an artistic voice all of his own- multi-instrumentalist Thomas Abban is hard to categorize and even harder to ignore. His music balances the accessible with the bewildering. His ethereal voice glides above a tumultuous ocean of musical exploration.
Rhythms and melodies feel at home, but a home a galaxy away.
All of Thomas Abban's music is written, arranged, produced, and performed by himself.
His latest single "Where Is Everybody?" was released on Feb 7th.
Some Words from Abban
"I’ve never been from the places I’ve lived. In some ways this is favorable because I will never be tied to any culture, its traditions or practices.
Art, in particular music, is my nomadic homestead and undefinable culture.
If the collective unconscious reveals itself, it is certainly through music; and
if God dreams it is certainly to the sound of human creation.
As an artist I seek the balance between the known and unknown.
With music we speak a language whose meaning is destroyed when its words are spelled out.
Artists bottle up vapor for a living, they erect invisible structures as dwelling places for the minds of others, they give wings to humanity and tell them to go take their own fire from the Gods. See, I’ll be chained to the mountain either way, but I’ll be chained with the knowledge of forbidden fire." -Abban
"The music is both lucid and hazy, its a search for a new language..... " Rolling Stone
"Abban has built a reputation for pushing himself to the edge of his own creativity — and regularly leaping over it." -The Current
"Thomas Abban is a master of crafting complex soulful and melodic music.... it’s the perfect balance between melody and yet retaining the winsome off-kilter quality that Abban knows how to compose.... and showcases his vocals beautifully." - Minneapolis, St. Paul Magazine
Thomas adopts a different style of fusion pop music which manifests his hidden desire to create his own original musical style. Not only with his expertise in melodies and harmony, Thomas depicts his innovative mindful ideas and thoughts which makes the music implicating and full.
