What better word describes the ability to sit in front of a tape recorder and play original melodies improvised and meditated than “magic?" Composer and musician Tom Shaw did just that live at the opening of an art gallery some years ago. That magic is titled Music for an Art Gallery. 

Here is ambient music, surely. And pensive. And meditative. The guests who came to the opening to see art were pleased, gratified and soothed by Tom’s free- form music; a magical time of rapture for them, too. 

Tom Shaw has a huge following as a rocker in the New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey area, but his true calling as a long time practitioner and student of Yoga and meditation, is spiritual, transporting, and relaxing music. That describes all 61 minutes of Music for an Art Gallery. 

This reviewer was delivered to better places, all found in my heart. The stress and tension of life melted away, to be replaced by peaceful scenes and thoughts. I recalled a beautiful lake setting with the surrounding trees mirrored in the still water. A field of wild flowers dancing in the breeze of a summer’s day. 

It is fair to say that Tom’s visualizations in music are as original and creative as any of the art at the gallery. Here is music that is reminiscent of a cross between Brian Eno, Steve Roach, Pink Floyd and Peter Gabriel. 

For 61 minutes of sublime, soothing and meditative music, Music for an Art Gallery is the album I recommend. Thank you, Tom Shaw!

Long before Brian Eno was playing "Music for airports" Tom Shaw was playing "Music for an art gallery" in his head.
Nothing less than art
