Toma Gouband
Toma Gouband is a French musician, percussionist, and improviser who sculpts sound from the rawest elements of nature. A pioneer in the use of natural materials, he is particularly renowned for his mastery of the lithophone, an ancient instrument he crafts from stones selected for their unique resonance. His artistic approach combines structured composition and improvisation, drawing upon deep research into the mathematical foundations of rhythm and polyrhythms. By exploring the musicality of stones, branches, and water, he creates immersive performances often described as sonic rituals, weaving a deep connection between ancient practices and contemporary sound exploration. A central figure in the improvised music scenes, he has collaborated with dozens of renowned international artists such as Evan Parker, Eve Risser, Magic Malik, Angel Bat Dawis, Jozef Dumoulin, Sylvain Darrifourcq, Benoît Delbecq, Sakina Abdou (...) affirming his place as a unique and essential voice in experimental music. https://www.tomagouband.info
