Tune in tonight for my live in-studio Three Hour Tour with guitarist Tom Caufield. Tom has traveled to Milwaukee to play live in the studio. WMSE 91.7FM is thrilled to present this live concert and chat with Tom.
This Saturday on Instrumental Saturdays, Mary Bartlein has Tom Caufield in the WMSE Studios for a special live interview and performance! Caufield is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with a contemplative, acoustic/electronic, near-ambient, classical-adjacent style. His music often (but not always) places the acoustic guitar at the core of his pieces
Originally from Michigan, Caufield lived variously in New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles while pursuing his solo career. Many of his pieces have been used in national advertising campaigns, as well as in network and cable television. Additionally, Caufield has scored three independent films.
His latest album, ‘The Endless Chimera,’ Tom’s first electric-centric album is a suite of four pieces, unique yet interconnected. The music was created using a 1992 Fender MIJ ’62 Vintage Stratocaster and an arsenal of analog and digital pedal f/x. Tom’s goal for this collection was to invoke the more spectral side of existence, trading his usual grounded, acoustic approach for a foray into isotopic, molecular, mysterious, Upanishadish layers. This final version of the album includes an acoustic coda for smooth transition back to terra firma. Transportive stuff.
Tune in on the dial at WMSE 91.7FM or stream using the WMSE website or free app.
