Tom Parish - A Black Belt in Music and Aikido

He’s an electronic composer doing work for commercials and multimedia product demos.  His favorite ingredients: New Age, Latin, Pop, Rap/Hip Hop, R&B, Trance, Rock, World Music, Environmental Sounds and Special Effects. Right this second, there's a tune or beat jumping in his head that could be just what you're looking for. 

Got a documentary that needs a memorable score?  An interview that needs a compelling background?  A commercial that needs some audio cinematography?  Tom’s your man.

Using cutting-edge software tools, he can write a snappy little Latin number, create an Electronica mixture, or retool a big band rendition.  Whatever the type of music – from Commercial Stingers to Dance to Symphonic - Tom finds new ways to bring together rhythms and music to touch hearts and minds, to move hips and feet, to sell your product or image.

Working in his studio with music in his soul and the latest equipment at his fingertips, Tom reaches into the past to transform old into new, and explores the future for uncharted sonic territories.  His vision is to create compositions that future generations will remember. 

But he's more than a solo act. He’s accessible and knows that collaboration is key to helping others make their media ideas come to life. With his degree in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, Tom navigates the constantly changing technology waters for media streaming on websites for his clients. He understands the perils of new technology and music projects colliding on the Internet for time-critical projects and multicultural teams around the world.

On the web-services side of things, he can help you with streaming protocols, Internet strategies, web hosting, web positioning in search engines and all those bits and bytes issues needed to get your audio programs and music online and be visible in the search engines.

I also have the Sonic Foundry Acid Pro 4 and Ableton Live with Reason running on Protools and an extremely large library of samples for rapid development of music projects - great tool!

For audio interfacing, I'm using a Midiman Delta 1010 card and Midisport 8x8, a Sony PCM-R500, a Sony portable DAT and an assortment of Shure and AKG condenser microphones.

My drum sticks. Don't leave home without them. I never start a project without a pair nearby. Dad taught me to play and I've been playing percussion ever since. From this energy I create music that moves the emotions.
