Tomas Furey (Twin Rising) studied classical piano at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Paris, as well as electroacoustic composition at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal. Since then, he has composed music for contemporary dance (Dave St-Pierre, Benoît Lachambre, George Stamos, Clara Furey and Peter Jasko, Eric Arnal Burtschy, 2e Porte à Gauche, Mélanie Demers, Frédérick Gravel, and Katie Ward); theater (Jérémie Niel, Loui Mauffette, Alice Ronfard); film (Carole Laure); and advertising. His first solo EP, Beams and Shadows, was published in 2015. He was on tour with Cosmic Love by Clara Furey, and is working on the MCC composition for Moment Factory, a five-year project.
This album-project by Twin Rising (Tomas Furey) was sparked from an interest in fusing together the artist’s fascination with electroacoustic music and pop; inducing a complete absorption in sound, coupled with the cadences of pop codes. Born from a desire to bring the listener into an immersive environment, the performance allows for optimal listening. The gestures of sound spatialization are supported by equally nuanced gestures of light, from total darkness to all-encompassing illumination, revealing Furey’s presence in the space.
