The vision behind this web site is to provide information not just on Ty and the tabla, but the eclectic community of people with whom he works. You will find not only musicians, but yoga instructors, dancers, actors, film makers, painters, philosophers, and more on the Community Links page. Ty has always been involved in bringing together the many faces of the arts and would like this site to serve as an expanding resource for those interested in participating with, as well as supporting the interweaving of the arts.
Ty's record company, Tala Records features projects with many of the artists featured on this site. Many of these pages will be augmented and updated on a regular basis, such as the Concerts page. So, check in often and feel free to contact Ty through the contact form here.
