Thomas André

lives in France, he works as a translator. He is also rim, an ambient guitar-only, beat-unfriendly project, with a release on Heldernacht Records, contributions to short films by Canadian director Pascal Payant, and collaborations with ambient artists draff krimmy and Sirens of Atlantis. Currently working on a soundtrack for the next film by Pascal Payant.

He gathers field recordings and assembles shreds of texts written during his trips with silence and gaps, hoping to leave more room/freedom for the listener/reader to take over.

The first collection And The Loudest Thing Of All Is Our Own Silence was published in Seattle-based Louis Liard Magazine.
