Tom has composed music for many promotional videos and short films. He has a small well-equipped studio, which enables him to deliver cost-effective broadcast-quality recordings, using computers where appropriate, live musicians, and occasionally employing a small orchestra, depending on budget and brief. He is always interested in hearing from directors who are producing high quality, interesting short films, for which they need music.
On this page you can hear extracts from some of Tom's pieces written for various radio and film projects.
