Who are we?

We come from diverse backgrounds, but we have the same passion: creating jaw-dropping sound design and artful music that rivals, and surpasses anything in the industry.

Tom Hambleton, the Minister of Fancy Noises —

Tom is equal parts Composer, Sound Designer and Re-recording artist with over 30 years of experience in all genres of Film, TV and other media. He is known for his boundless creativity and ability to raise any production to a new level of professionalism and power. As Charles Maynes (U-571, Spiderman, Flags of Our Fathers, Fantastic 4) says, “Tom is a guy who approaches things in a clever way. His insights into sound are truly world class.”

Tom’s work on Internationally-released and Award-winning films has screened at Cannes, Sundance and Melbourne and from the Smithsonian to Showtime, Redbox, Netflix and everywhere in between.

He has taught classes in sound and music for film in Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and his hometown of Minneapolis, MN. Tom has an uncanny knack for finding the sweet spot of music and sound design looking for organic and startling metaphoric connections between the visual and auditory worlds that create lushly storied sound-scapes.
