Listen on:
Tom Nunn performs solo improvisations on his original instrument, the Octatonic T-Rodimba. Each of the ten pieces on this CD discovers a different sound world as Tom plucks, scrapes, strikes, and bows his way through an imaginative and highly evolved sonic journey. – Text from Garuda Records
- Tom Nunn - Octatonic T-Rodimba
As improvised music this is something out of the ordinary, through the combination of the solo effort and the personal, invented and constructed instruments. Some of the most exciting sounds out of new music rise out of this CD. I can’t wait to hear more from this artist.

Creativity is a wonderful thing. Nunn not only had the imagination to build this astonishingly versatile instrument, he’s figured out how to play it like a virtuoso.

Besides the metal rods, the T-Rodimba also features an assortment of auxiliary steel washers, finishing nails, textured surfaces, metal discs, etc. that provide other percussive effects. Mr. Nunn combines these sonorities to intriguing effect on Burning Palms, which collects ten of his solo improvisations.
