Whilst bringing back strong cinematic motifs reminiscent of Ennio Morricone as well as the sounds of his home-(Iceland)’s dreamlike landscapes, inspiring listeners to listen deeply, Thomas Stankiewicz performs around the world as a composer, guitarist and selector of sounds. In his work which is largely cinematic, he writes music for film as well as classical compositions and has worked with critically acclaimed names such as The London Contemporary Orchestra, Stones Throw Records, Ragnar Kjartansson and The Royal Albert Hall to name a few. With a surprisingly discerning ear for everything uniquely beautiful, atmospheric and timeless - which earned him the trust of NTS Radio and its listeners - Thomas became a self taught musician at an early age long before studying his mother tongue, classical music. As for the driving force, “There is something vast and beautiful that must be communicated here and now, and the aspiration to create beauty is also to fulfil the role of service as an artist, ” he says. Seeking the sublime through the mysterious forgotten stories of sound and melodies, is something Thomas will never stop to do.. as a composer, as a selector, but first and foremost: as a listener..
