Description
OM 15 composer Tom Johnson narrating his composition “Eggs and Baskets” during the third concert of Other Minds Festival 15, held at the Jewish Coummunity Center in San Francisco, on March 6, 2010.

Tom Johnson, born in 1939, worked as a music critic for the Village Voice for many years before moving to Paris in 1983 where he has since largely devoted himself to composition. He is considered a minimalist composer and his works are often based on simple scales or logical, mathematical progressions or combinations of a select number of notes. However Johnson has produced a large body of work, including a number of operas and compositions for orchestra or large ensemble, as well as a variety of radio pieces.
