REMOTE RECORDING
Tom began recording in his own purpose built studio over 20 years ago. He has amassed an extensive collection of mics, instruments, effects pedals and outboard including a bewildering range of effects pedals.
​
​Work from his studio can be heard on numerous films, TV shows, commercials, stadium shows, installations, production music, classical and pop recordings.
