Thomas Dimuzio is a musician, composer, improviser, sound designer, mastering engineer, label proprietor, and music technologist residing in San Francisco, California. Inspired as much by John Cage as Led Zeppelin, Dimuzio's music is like a sonic excursion that transports the listener into other worldly aural realms. “His work has a narrative, filmic tug that will draw you into its dark corners, ears alert… brilliant and rarely less than entertaining.” —Peter Marsh, BBC

His recordings have been released internationally by ReR Megacorp, Asphodel, RRRecords, No Fun Productions, Sonoris, Drone Records, Record Label Records, Odd Size, Seeland, and other independent labels. Among his collaborators are Chris Cutler, Dan Burke, Joseph Hammer, Anla Courtis, Nick Didkovsky, Due Process, Voice of Eye, Fred Frith, David Lee Myers, 5uu's, Matmos, Wobbly and Negativland. Most recently Dimuzio played at AngelicA Festival Internazionale di Musica as a featured soloist with the Orchestra of Teatro Comunale of Bologna for a performance of Chris Cutler’s “p53”, and as part of SFEMF performing a spatialized concert on the 100+ speaker surround system at explOratorium's Kanbar Forum.

Thomas describes his perfomance:

"Sonic spatialization is the movement and positioning of sound within an array of speakers; a component of music composition for me that is equally important as the sound itself. Tonight’s performance will be presented in quadraphonic sound and centered around the Buchla 200e modular synthesizer with texture and spatial loopers/processors that I’ve designed in Max/MSP and Kyma. Together these comprise a palette for improvisation and real-time composition within time and space."
