Twice Born from "MANAS" by MANAS
Thom Nguyen is an Asheville-based improvisor and drummer of MANAS (w/Tashi Dorji), Wasting, We Bow To No Masters, Nest Egg, etc. Producing energetic bursts and invoking a sensitivity to space that one often associates with Free-Jazz and New Music percussion, Nguyen’s approach elegantly bridges works of sonic sculpture with a punk aesthetic of immediacy, of aggression and playfulness.
