Tomas Bouda

About Me

tomas is an improvising musician and composer. sometimes he plays what he writes and other times he writes what he plays. he has been playing double bass for some time, in both classical and jazz settings.currently studying composition at WLU near the sunny beaches of Waterloo, Ontario, tomas has been a resident of these parts his whole life.there are times when rehearsal is necessary: but, not often in his view. living/playing in the moment may yield better results aesthetically.
