Tom Nunn shuns that practice with truly experimental music that haunts you with its odd rhythms and intriguing use of percussive instruments. A master instrument builder, Tom Nunn uses three of his inventions on “Identity”: hybrid mothics (small triangular shaped boards with ‘zitherods’), the Crustacean (32” diameter round stainless steel plate supported by three inflated toy balloons in small cardboard paint buckets), and the Octatonic T-Rodimba (4x2 foot sheet of 2/4” high grade plywood with three v-shaped tiers of quarter inch threaded steel rods).
