Music for a Higher Vibration...a double-CD of contemporary solo piano
compositions recorded using holistic resonance...music so pure and
transformative you will hear piano in a whole new way...literally!

THOMAS BARTH
Born in Vienna, Austria, Thomas Barth has studied piano and composition in
Austria, Denmark and the USA, as well as taken master classes with Herbie
Hancock at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and with Weather Report founder Joe
Zawinul at the ³Wiener Meisterkurse,² in Vienna. Barth¹s studies in
psychology, philosophy, metaphysics, Huna (Hawaiian shamanic spirituality)
and ancient cultures have added a unique perspective to his art.

BEYOND BLACK & WHITE
On his solo debut, critically-acclaimed Austrian pianist Thomas Barth
performs compositions that go way beyond new age music that captures the
full intensity, magic, fire, intimacy and alchemy of which the solo grand
piano is capable. When Barth plays piano, he really PLAYS it...caressing the
keyboard, plucking some strings, tapping or stroking the instrument until it
practically purrs with pleasure! This new double-CD was recorded in a room
filled with 30 other pianos introducing a sound concept called ³Holistic
Resonance.² You CAN hear the difference (especially when played through
headphones).
