Show Notes

“The work that you’re most nervous about presenting is always the best stuff.”

Tom Third loves to push against creative limits and break convention.  Known for his modern, hybrid electronic scores, he started out as a hip-hop loving art school kid who was eventually signed to Nettwerk records, where he produced sample-heavy trip hop and drum n bass.  As a songwriter, he also co-wrote Meryn Cadell’s cult hit "The Sweater".  Transitioning from ads to film and TV, he cut his teeth on the massive hit show Queer as Folk, and is now known for his work on fan-favorite shows like The Listener and the breakout hit, Coroner.  This Gemini-winner’s working style is creative and experimental, and he loves to color outside the lines.  Whether scoring surrealist art house cinema or hit TV series, he is happiest when slightly out of his comfort zone.
