Producing since
2003, TAM had is first musical experience working as a Dj in a duo named TAMDMD.
He began developing his own ideas in 2004, using the possibilities offered by
electronics and digital means. His working method is very simple: recording/sampling
the analogical sound of musical instruments and reworking them afterwards digitally.
The sounds presented are intensely cinematic. The music tries to express something
visual, tries to tell something without words. It can be understood as a soundscape,
or as a simple song, but that depends on the listener. Although he influences
of composers like Erik Satie and Arvo Part are clear, Tam's work is also concerned
with the contemporary digital minimalism of the likes of Taylor Deupree and
Alva Noto.
The "Tam" EP recently released on the portuguese label Variz is the
perfect example of these considerations: all the themes have are based in a
simple minimal melody, then other short and simple melodies are added. The goal
is to compose a consistent piece, which leads you to and quietness, warm melancholy
and a cinematic approach to music.
