Whispers from Silence
Phoenix musicians Tom Moore (aka Voyager Tom Moore) and Sherry Finzer have interwoven their individual music talents together to create and record an “outer to inner world” musical journey aptly titled Whispers from Silence.
The album was designed to help facilitate a deeply meditative experience for the listener using sound and silence. Tom and Sherry create audio imagery with exotic and unpredictable sounds, which unwind slowly and gracefully utilizing wind instruments and synthesizers. The result is a sound that seems ancient, yet sensitive, distinct and relative to the world today. The music on Whispers from Silence encourages deep relaxation, inner peace, and awakening to the spirit.
As stated on the back cover of the album, “All movement comes from stillness, all sound comes from silence.”

He states that the music he creates and performs comes from, and is intimately interwoven with, his path as an explorer of consciousness. He is also the founding director of a business focusing on human potential named "SENSE of PURPOSE COMMUNICATIONS" where he shares "Pathways" to live a purposeful and exceptional life through his seminars and workshops.
Tom, who often performs as Voyager Tom Moore talks about his music: "I create, record, and perform 'Space Music.' It is transcendent music and inspires us to move beyond our boundaries, and explore the timeless depths of space with a spiritual musical vision. My 'Outer Space' audio journeys express the awe of outer space and the excitement of the exploration of our physical universe. My 'Inner Space" music uses sound and silence to create deeply meditative music that helps us shift our attention from external stimuli to the more subtle place of 'Feeling and Being.' My music intends to express an undercurrent of awareness and an inner spiritual presence. I believe it is this spiritual dimension that gives real meaning to our lives." His music has been heard on New Age genre music stations, including the syndicated "Music from the Hearts of Space," and was included in the award winning "Illumination" video production that also included music by Steve Halpern and Jonn Serrie.
