Wayne Robert Thomas

Wayne Robert Thomas is an Indianapolis based musician who composes drones like sculpting in wet cement, each movement turning slowly upwards while simultaneously being locked into time and space.

His first appearance on vinyl, Wayne Robert Thomas's deeply felt composition "Voyevoda" utilizes processed electric guitar to fill all available space with lofty and spacious tones that lose nothing of their clarity as the float up to the rafters before settling back down to the nave. A stirring counterpoint Dunn's composition, "Voyevoda" keenly examines one's fidelity to unconquerable nostalgia.

FLUID-RADIO

Seeing the world through its near-perfect eyesight, the track never blurs or disintegrates as it ascends, and while the darker sound is made known through the lower register, it still manages to scale impressive heights. The tone has affected the colour of its eyes: they’re darker because of its lower leanings, and this helps to contrast and compliment the bright hilltops of ‘The Searchers’.

DELUSIONS OF ADEQUECY

On “Voyevoda”, Thomas utilizes tones which are rich and thick but also completely malleable. The frequency range he paints in suggests a kind of slow-shifting shadowy earthiness that conjures images of both twilight and nighttime landscapes. The nocturnalness of “Voyevoda” bookends the sun-infused etherealness of Dunn’s piece nicely, creating an excellent balance between transcendental and corporeal elements.
