Guitarist.Composer.Coach
Thomas Maos, sound artist and co-founder of the CAMP festival has developped an approach of using the electric guitar as an orchestral instrument, with wich he creates sound fields, where tonal and atonal elements clash. While playing his so-called „Electronic guitar“  the creating of a certain sound is always in the focus. In 2005 he released his first solo-album „chill in drill out“ on  www.nurnichtnur.com with solo-electronic – guitar pieces.

Since about 15 years he works as a cross-over performer together with other artists in visual music projects, theatre pieces, dance performances, literatur and art.
Over and above Thomas Maos works as a music teacher and band/projectcoach at the jamclub tübingen and at the landestheater tübingen.
