Thomas Arbor Shares Soundtrack Collections 'RIB' + 'Theatre'

Ever-adventurous Pōneke imprint Sonorous Circle seem to be having a productive streak, launching late last week a filmic new album from Paperghost along with RIB, a collection of instrumental soundtrack works by label helmsman Thomas Arbor (ex-I.Ryoko). Originally created to accompany Katrina George's dance-theatre piece of the same name in 2017, RIB is re-presented as six audio tracks to consider divorced from the physical realm, calling to mind current initiatives to shine the spotlight on a different kind of "dance music" such as Music From Memory's superb Music For Dance & Theatre series. RIB journeys through lush, evocative ambience with a definite rhythmic heft to tunes such as 'Party' and 'Tricks Connect', while floating free on textural and somewhat spooky finale 'Closing House'.
