Tom Martin is a double bassist and contrabassist associated here with Debasement Tapes, a collection of acoustic music that combines fingerstyle guitar with original compositions, Celtic traditional tunes, and contemporary folk songs. The material includes both personal original songs and interpretations of traditional pieces, with the traditional repertoire given a fresh arrangement and approach.

The music ranges from a deep, soulful feel to faster, more driving passages, with fingerstyle guitar playing a central role throughout.
