Thomas Ragsdale & Richard Arnold - Transformations I (2024)

A glimpse, a glimmer. A shimmer, a shade. Tonal delicacy, rhythmic suggestion. The soundtrack to a rich inner life.

"Transformations I" from Thomas Ragsdale & Richard Arnold is an invitation to the listener to dive deep within. The work of two artists whose kinship is not only filial, but expressionistic: each reconfigures the other, forging new paths in sound together. As past meets present, tradition finds its way forward.

Lie awash in dulcet waves. Listen in as patterns emerge, blossom, dissipate. The finite expands. A gossamer beauty takes shape. Boundaries dissolve, and what is old is new again. Transformation.
