Starless Starlight (co-production), by David Cross (King Crimson) and Robert Fripp is due for a spring 2015 release and Tony working on other projects for 2015, including a new album co-written with David Cross as well as a new project, ESP, with special guests.

2010-2013

Over the last twelve years Tony released eight albums including three collaborations with Alison Fleming (making the ballots for the Grammys in fourteen categories over two years), a well reviewed atmospheric-improvised CD collaboration with Yumi Hara Cawkwell, and a new solo album ‘reflector’ in late 2011. During 2012 Tony is working with Simon Townshend on Simon’s new music, with one CD released in 2012 and more to come. He also tours with Simon playing guitar and keyboards. Tony and Alison Fleming are also working on a new album project for 2014, and he co-produced an ‘Starless Starlight’ with Violinist, David Cross (King Crimson) & Robert Fripp, a wonderfully evocative, instrumental work grown from the famous Starless theme set for a Spring 2015 release. Tony’s production of classic prog group – Bram Stoker’s ‘Cold Reading’ in 2013/2014 was well received by the music press.

Tony is passionate about human rights, the peace campaign and the environment; these issues are often reflected in his heartfelt lyrics and evocative music. Creator of the inspirational multi-media concept All of the Above, he believes music can be a force for positive change.

September 2011, Tony played a set at the Bedford, London for the International Day of Peace, a Global Internet Broadcast event broadcast on Peace Day TV, streaming year around. In 2010, this broadcast went to over two million viewers.

Tony creates uplifting and inspiring music through a variety of genres but with an underlying English essence.

Review Extract from Dream of the Gryllidae – “The guitar is nimble with its growlings, belting out riffs capable of searing paint from walls, then issuing delicate strumming designed to instil a heavenly dreamstate. Whether displaying intensity or delicacy, Lowe shows a remarkable mastery not only of the instrument but to the diverse emotional potential inherent in both sonic directions.” Sonic Curiosity
