The Dan Peck Trio is comprised of Dan Peck (tuba, compositions), Tom Blancarte (double-bass), and Brian Osborne (percussion). Formed in 2008, the group focuses on improvisation and Dan's compositions. The trio functions as a tuba-fronted ensemble, but there is equal emphasis on a blending together of the bass instruments, creating an atmosphere of dark frequencies. The sound of the Trio spans from landscapes of near-silence to massive, apocalyptic sound sculptures. Dan's through-composed pieces for the group exploit the lowest possible sounds and harmonies of their instruments, and are heavily inspired by Doom Metal.
