**Tom Heasley** is an American musician, known for his ambient tuba work.[1][2] Heasley also performs on [didjeridu](/source/Didjeridu), voice, and electronics.

*Where the Earth Meets the Sky*, his first album, was released on the Hypnos Recordings ambient label and was mastered by ambient music pioneer [Robert Rich](/source/Robert_Rich_(musician)). In his 4-star review for [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic), Matt Borghi called it "a thoughtful and sonically rich recording."[3] *[Exclaim!](/source/Exclaim!)* wrote that "the music is suggestive of an eerie, vast, iridescent lunar landscape caught in perpetual twilight, with the singing perhaps adding an extraterrestrial dimension to it."[4]
