about

A vulgarly vivid, beat collage homage to urban life.

This work inherits an at times even violent eclecticism in the spirit of old greats such as Prince and Arthur Russell as well as new greats including Flying Lotus and Daedelus.

TOMC’s “Yesternow Once Now” was created after a period of multiple overseas releases and the experiences learned from them. It combines not only past, present and East-meets-West but also samples from everyday life environments and an impressive archive of improv session recordings to boot. Add to this TOMC’s own vocals and snippets of candid conversations enjoyed with friends and you are well on your way to a sumptuous collage painted in broad, generous strokes that only gradually reveal themselves and the overall picture over time.

With his roots in the avant-garde improv scene, TOMC carries out his editing work faithfully and entirely to his own tune, editing, stripping away, and even entirely destroying musical foundations without the slightest hesitation. It is this approach to his works that means TOMC never settles down in any one genre, instead borrowing from diverse elements spanning anything from future jazz, trap and glitch to alternative R&B and industrial. In doing so, he is able to pursue a uniquely clean and perfectionistic “hi-fi” bent that is at once obsessive, vulgar, and infinitely colorful in its charm—a new, effortless force to be reckoned with in the world of collage music.
