Tom Heasley is an American musician, known for his ambient tuba work.[1][2] Heasley also performs on 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. In his 4-star review for AllMusic, Matt Borghi called it "a thoughtful and sonically rich recording."[3] 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]
