Collin Thomas – The Gauze Eyed Gaze Of Bracketed Air: A masterpiece of instrumental storytelling

Collin Thomas is an artists who doesn’t just make music, but makes a plot and describes his story through his songs. With extensive sound effects and melodies that carry within themselves a mystery or say a puzzle to be solved, he is creating tracks that induce vivid imageries in the listener’s minds. He is someone who uses the power of silence a lot. The power of silence in music is anticipation, mystery and an added, unheard rhythm. Close your eyes and let yourself flow with his tracks, it almost feels like a movie. He is brave with his experimentations as sometimes, to create the desired vibe, he goes outside the music theory and makes key fluid tracks. The use of unpopular sounds of daily objects add rawness and texture to his songs. If I had to describe his music in just two words, they would be- Trippy and Mysterious. The way each song connects with a part of your soul is incredible and magical.

“An abstract instrumental album that describes the pain of loving someone with dementia, Collin Thomas’s The Gauze Eyed Gaze Of Bracketed Air pushes the boundaries of music itself to show us what all a piece of art can convey.”

The Gauze Eyed Gaze Of Bracketed Air is a 16 tracks long album with slow instrumental and vivid sound effects. Each track fits the story that the album tries to convey. The tracks engulfs your attention with the mysterious style story telling and immaculate melodies. The album has some easter eggs that redefine what a well planned album could really convey. All the songs feature the use of a particular Keys instrument playing the same notes to stress on the fact that dementia causes people to get stuck in a loop and forget about what had happened in the past. The slow buildup of the whole album unfolds many questions that arise in the listener’s minds. The songs are open ended and the listeners can create their perception about the art. The album also deals with the masks that us humans wear while interacting with the outside world. These masks hide our true self and shows the world only the part of us that we decide to expose. Each song in the album is a descriptive story.
