Tomas Phillips (b. 1969) is a composer, novelist, and teacher whose sound work focuses on improvisational performance and minimalist through-composition. He began composing electronic music in the early 1990s. Limit (17:51 minutes), completed in 2008, is comprised of samples from the solo guitar work of Taku Sugimoto. The original intention was to isolate individual notes and construct a new “guitar” piece. What emerged in the compositional process, however, was something very different.
