Tom Haines
Tom grew up in Cornwall, where he started his studies in percussion and composition. He moved to East London in 1996, where he now lives with his wife and two children.
Shape, Colour and Line are key elements in Haines’ distinctive musical work. Tom’s instinctive understanding of narrative, and his use of shifting interlocking motifs and patterns give his work a unique internal logic. Tom’s compositional style is bold, fresh, and modern.
Tom is a partner and director of Brains and Hunch Studios (est 2002),
a top flight audio post complex in central London, and has a very
experienced team around him, including a studio manager, copyist
and music editor to enable swift, streamlined and prompt delivery of
complex projects in stereo or 5.1.
Other Music
Tom’s non-commercial career spans John Cage performances on the BBC, a remix for Bjork, experimental scores for the National Theatre and RSC, as well as ongoing work in Art Cinema and Sound Art.
Tom’s band, the London Snorkelling Team (LST), is the official orchestra of the London Institute of ‘Pataphysics. In 2018, Gavin Bryars wrote On Lassus for the LST, which premiered in Paris at the Collège de 'Pataphysique.
