After a year and a half of writing and
recording in Durban and Cape Town, critically acclaimed South African musician
Gary Thomas is ready to launch a series of EP’s into the world under his new
collaborative artist name, Moodship.
Since his last South Africa tour, Thomas
lived in Spain and performed 30 concerts across Europe, began the ongoing
process of recording his new music, wrote the score for multiple documentaries
and films and most recently won an Ovation Award for his performance at the
2018 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.
Disembark is the first in a series of EP releases signifying the beginnings
of a broader and more collaborative sound for Thomas. Written and recorded and
mastered by Mark Hako in Durban at 286 Studios and in Cape Town at Netherchord
Studios, the first 4 track EP features special guests Gene Kierman (french horn)
and Daniel Zachariah Franks (violin) on Far
Fetched and Steve Jones (drums) on Problem
Solve.
