After nearly five years since his last release and close to ten since his last physical format, Tom Hall returns with Trip Computer – a stark, high-resolution audio visual journey exploring memory, transmission, and systemic deconstruction. The album capture's Hall's signature balance of dense texture and minimalist form, hybrid synthesis, generative processes, and custom DSP systems; all built from the ground up by Hall himself. While Hall's discography has been quiet, his creative output has not. Over the past decade, he's relentlessly performed live across the globe, been a founding member of the Tree Of Life project at NASA/JPL that focuses on sound and perceptual systems, developed custom software for Nine Inch Nails, contributed to sound design for Hollywood franchises including Fast and Furious, and supported R&D and sonic tooling for leading audio esteemed faculty at USC Thornton School of Music, teaching advanced courses in audio synthetics, live performance systems, and computer music. Hall's return to recorded music (first time ever on vinyl) is not a comeback – it's a recalibration. One forged in two decades of continuous experimentation and technological inquiry. Show more
