heres a note from tom;
Let me tell you about someone who is doing something interesting in the music industry.
Tom Cosm is a guy who performs an interesting blend of minimal, electro, trance and
whatever else he decides to chuck in there, using a laptop and various controllers.
He promotes his musical project using word of mouth, keeping all of his music free for
download to anyone at any time.
Tom has used this method to become a well known musician and has traveled to perform
and teach at some of the worlds most renowned electronic dance music festivals, including
Boom Festival (Portugal), Rainbow Serpent Festival (Australia) and Ultra Groove (Brazil).
The other interesting niche about this guy, is he makes all of his techniques available to
anyone... no production secrets or exclusivity. His interactive website is full of tutorial
videos and ready to jam Ableton Live packs, so people can see not just how he wrote the
music, but how he gives a true live performance (he's not one of these hit-play-and-dancearound-
like-i'm-doing-something live acts).
One problem Tom does have, is writing profiles in third person. It always ends up sounding
wanky, so I am going to stop right there and talk directly to you if that's ok, it's a lot nicer
for me and I hope for you as well.
You're reading this because someone made a decision that my project is worth spreading.
Your task is to decide if this persons opinion is enough for you to take it to the next level
and have a skim through my work your self.
If anything in this write up has triggered your curiosity, I invite you come on over using the
link below, I've set up a single page for you with immediate resources so you can quickly
browse over the things I do and make your own decision.
Word of mouth - it's the way I work. I don't have a label, I don't have any fancy releases
and I am not going to be taking any scene by storm- but I will make sure everyone who
ever respects my project will get it right back in return.
Thanks for reading this far in an age of information overload.
-Tom
