• 
  Tiny Orchestral Moments is an international troupe of connected musicians who meet periodically to write, record, perform, and improvise.
  
  We invite new Music into the world by collaborating across geographies, genres, genders and generations. The ensemble includes a gender-balanced core team of invited musicians who are already established in their work as internationally-recognized performers.
  
  The core team is energized via contributions from a set of students, apprentices, organizers, instructors and experienced collaborators from in and outside the worldwide Guitar Craft community. The performers work together to prepare and present collaborative repertoire for layered guitars, voices, violins, strings, wind, drums and percussion. The aim: share structured improvisation that sounds composed, and composed collaboration that sounds improvised.
  
  TOM shows unfold in 360-degrees as musicians move in and around the audience. Physical surround sound is complemented by 3 walls of ambient video, and supported by a mobile orchestra of guitarists from the extended Seattle Guitar Circle.
  
  In addition to hosting public performances during each project, the full team also spends part of the week working in a world-class studio. All of these recordings came from the TOM v1 project improvisations at London Bridge studio in Seattle.
  
  Complementing the five CDs that emerged from TOM v1 in 2016, Louise Amandes and Ron Austin are producing a Tiny Orchestral Moments documentary for official release in late 2017.
  
  And TOM v2 happened August 13-21 2017 in a huge house in Issaquah, WA.
