about

Mike Tamburo returns with a shimmering and primal set of metallic explorations and sonic meditations performed on gongs, bells and sound sculptures. Powerful and emotional, 'The Giant Sleeps' continues Tamburo's vision of creating beautiful and compelling music with metal instruments and forging new pathways for himself as a composer and improviser.
