Kaleidoscopic Visions showcases Tom Skinner drawing together the many threads of his career as one of the UK's most versatile and free-thinking contemporary musicians. Performing and recording with Sons of Kemet, The Smile, Kano, Floating Points and Peter Zummo as well as a wide range of collaborations across London's vibrant improvised and electronic scene, Skinner's diverse touchpoints are brought together in an album of quiet power and profound truths, reflecting his journey so far and opening the road towards what is to come.The album unfolds across two distinct sonic landscapes. Side A presents entirely instrumental compositions performed by Skinner's live Bishara band-bassist Tom Herbert, cellist Kareem Dayes, and Robert Stillman and Chelsea Carmichael on various woodwinds and reeds-with electric guitar on two tracks courtesy of Portishead's Adrian Utley. A drummer-composer bringing his wealth of experience to bear on the role of bandleader, Skinner composed primarily on guitar, embracing the freedom that came with writing on his secondary instrument. Skinner's musical world opens further on Side B, where a collection of poised vocal collaborations stretch out from jazz and improvisation towards a more dream-like, soulful sound. The centerpiece is InchThe Maxim,Inch a ten-minute collaboration with Grammy Award-winning Meshell Ndegeocello, a dubby, spacious meditation on life and death, delivered with a free-spirited grace. On Kaleidoscopic Visions, one of London's most vital musical figures gives us a sparkling glimpse of the multi-coloured lens through which his unique sound is now refracting. Album Tracks 1.
