Yo. I'm a Brooklyn-based performer/composer; I play clarinets/saxophones and write for all sorts of instruments. Thanks for dropping by.

Big success at Merkin Hall on February 13 for the debut of seasonal.disorder - my new commissioned work for the Bang on a Can All-Stars. The New York Times reviewed the concert and called seasonal.disorder: "a virtuoso piece... a high-energy, angry work, inspired by reading the news every morning before composing. Mr. Thomson’s alarm yielded a texture laced with power chords, screaming clarinet lines and cluster-laden piano writing. In the end it is sheer madness, in a good, thrillingly visceral way."

The concert will be broadcast on WNYC's New Sounds program at 11pm on Wed, March 19 on 93.9FM in NYC and live (and archived) on the web. Also thanks to WKCR for having me on their Morning Classical show where I got to play 2 hours of my music!

Right now, Gutbucket is on the road across the pond to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Belgium ... and, come April, we hit the studio to record that new disc. And the No Net Trio hits the studio in March as well.

Also, Alarm Will Sound is performing my arrangement of Aphex Twin's Gwely Mernans at their concerts this season, including a performance at Zankel Hall on February 28!
