Music from new label Tao Forms

Click the play button to listen

Tao Forms is a new recording label launched in Spring 2020. Drummer—improviser—composer Whit Dickey is both the creative director and executive producer of this fresh endeavour. Matthew Shipp's The Piano Equation was the label's inaugural release. It was followed by Expanding Light, which is the new work by Whit Dickey himself. The music is distributed by the Aum Fidelity label.

On this show I feature tracks from both of those albums as well as other music from the discographies of the four musicians playing on these releases.
