Tomas Dobrovolskis, composer, percussionist-multiinstrumentalist, developed an original, new percussion instrument The Brass Globe to create a new genre and way of performing in regard to solo percussion. He presents his creative achievements in his latest records. 

"Listening to my compositions you will hear sounds and performing techniques which will remind you some of percussion instruments you may already know by heart; however, the sounds I have created go far beyond conventional sounds and rhythms"

Band/artist history

The story of The Brass Globe

It happened a few years ago. I heard a sound. A sound I was looking for. It was The Brass Globe. It took two years for me to become acquainted with the spirit of The Brass Globe and to make it obey my hands. It took two creative years of discovery of new sounds, new performing techniques and developing a new concept, new style of improvisational music. The Brass Globe is marvelous. Its shape, its sound, its ergonomics are so original. It seems that The Brass Globe was made with me in mind. So, this is one story.

The Glass

The Brass Globe opened me new territories of creative sound. It gave me an idea and my next discovery was The Glass. A simple vase similar in its shape to The Brass Globe and that I bought at some shopping centre became a stunning member of my musical armament. 
 
Please, enjoy the beauty of The Glass sound in my solo composition The journey (fragment) and Streams, recorded with Sign Group.
