Showing the Discogs bio

Electronic Composer, Producer, Sound Designer, DJ, Remixer, Music Director, Music Curator, Compiler and appointed Sound Architect for Yotel NYC.
A Consultant and Tech Expert in the areas of Computer Music, Hardware and Software and DJ Equipment, Headphones and in-ear monitors.
A classically-trained pianist and cellist from Cornwall, he met Richard D James (The Aphex Twin) in 1989. He learned the science of sound sampling and synth programming by observing Richard in the studio. This friendship lead to Tom co-producing a track for the 'Analogue Bubblebath' EP as Schizophrenia. Tom introduced Richard to Mighty Force Records and helped broker the record deal for the EP.
After graduating in Graphic Design in 1991, Tom met Mark Pritchard, a Producer/DJ with similar musical tastes. The pair set up the Evolution Records imprint (which later became Universal Language Productions Ltd.) They recorded under a number of pseudonyms, including Reload (Techno and IDM), Global Communication (Ambient and House), Secret Ingredients (Deep House), and Jedi Knights (Electro Boogie, P-Funk, Breakbeats, House).
Since 2018 Tom has been working as a sleep coach and creator of science-backed music for health, wellness, motivation, focus, relaxation and sleep.
