Thomas Antonio Debelian
Thomas Debelian (1997) is a sought-after hand percussionist based in Oslo. His foundation is rooted in South American music, primarily Brazilian and Afro-Brazilian music, but he also delves into genres such as jazz, pop, and electronic music. In addition to live performances, he also has extensive experience in studio work with his own projects and collaborations, such as tigerstate, Svømmebasseng, DUNK, Goofy Geese, Tilar and Fryderyk HD to name a few. On of the collaborations lead to a Grammy nomination with the album Shuruaat by Berklee Indian Ensemble. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Performance from Berklee College of Music.
This piece emerged from the Ukrainian folk song about creation of the world. The first take of the recording is the one you hear in this composition, with the production and percussion added afterwards. Few weeks later, with the encounter of the poet from South Africa, we invited him, as his spoken word feels like embodiment of the real man on our planet who speaks about real problems. What we want to speak out loud is the future that we leave for children, especially in the regions touched by war and socio-economical problems.
