Music
Connections is an upcoming album of original compositions and one arrangement by Tom Call, featuring Alex Sipiagin, David Pietro, and many other talented individuals. The title connections is meant to evoke the importance of our relationships in everyday life. From small things to grandiose moments, it is our relationships with those we love that bring a deeper sense of meaning to the moments we share with them. Written while I was living in New York, the album is a musical exploration of realizing just how important the people in my life are, from my wife and children, to my good friends and colleagues, both within and outside the music world.
​
It is meant to be an invitation to connect with me through my music, and to connect and reconnect with those in our lives who give our lives meaning.
