Scott Tuma’s new record, Dandelion, released on 12″ vinyl from the fine folks at Digitalis, is now available at Digitalis and Boomkat!!! Oh happy day, a dream come true!

About 5 or 6 years ago in college, one of my art instructors handed me a CD with a fish on the cover (no cover title) and said I might like it.  Upon first listen, I realized I had been given something utterly unique and special.  The CD was The River 1 2 3 4 by Scott Tuma, and consisted of four untitled tracks, and it was unlike anything I had ever listened to.  Since then, I’ve been soaking in those very same sounds, listening late at night, early in the morning, any time and all the time.  I’ve listened to The River at least a thousand times, and to this day, when listening, I still don’t even know which track it’s on.  And it doesn’t matter, because any given moment of the music is completely captivating, and that’s all that matters.  Same goes for all of Tuma’s other releases, including his work with Boxhead Ensemble and beyond.  Scott is a true musical master, a conjurer of sepia-toned worlds of dust and sun, of warmth and heartache, of creaking floorboards and slow-motion rivers.

Long story short, I eventually got in touch with Scott to let him know how much I appreciated his work, and the rest is history!

A huge thank you goes out to Scott for making his beautiful, inspiring, timeless music that has filled my home and studio for the past 5 years, and to Brad at Digitalis for being awesome and letting me go to town with the artwork.  When we all meet up in Chicago one of these days, I’m buying the drinks!
