Each track explores a different part of this. Perpetuity draws on my longstanding influences in grunge and alternative rock. Interval reflects the experimentation and collaboration I\u2019ve experienced throughout university, and Becoming represents where I\u2019m at musically right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bass is the common thread throughout the EP, taking on a different role on each piece. The songs bring together familiar influences and newer ideas, developed through collaboration and experimentation in the recording studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project feature contributions from <strong>Callum Spillane<\/strong> (trumpet), <strong>Matilda Dickson<\/strong> (saxophone), <strong>Ethan Tudor<\/strong> (Drums, guitar), <strong>Melody Tough<\/strong> (piano),<strong> Ben Chin<\/strong> (synth, piano). Ben and I engineered the EP, and I handled mixing and mastering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist bio Thomas Wilcox-Symons is a bassist and composer with a background in alternative rock, original songwriting and live performance.
