About Tom Harrington

I'm from Fareham, England, currently living in High Wycombe, with a 2i in Bachelors of Science in Music and Sound Production Technology at Bournemouth University. Since completing my degree in 2016 I began working at Focusrite/Novation as a technical support engineer on placement, where I then became full time and moved into the role of senior technical support engineer. I also work as a composer alongside this position, see my gallery for examples.

Experience

Over the years I have worked on a number of projects including creating video game music, music and sound for TV, radio dramas, short films and animated shorts. My day job at Focusrite/Novation means I’m keenly aware of the latest developments in the industry. More details of my experience can be found in the downloadable CV at the bottom of this page.

Background

At the age of 10 I began playing drums, after being in a number of bands and playing in live shows. I started producing music at the age of 16. Since then I have been analysing, creating and learning about music and music production. As my interest in production grew so did my interest in Electronic Music. Back in 2012 I began sharing music online, using my handle for gaming "Dino Kid" as the alias.

I have over 110 thousand views on YouTube and another 31 thousand plays on Soundcloud, my music shared on a number of blogs and various music networks and regularly receive praise and encouragement from around the world.

After some radio experience at University I went on to create my own Radio show in 2014 with a focus on Independent music which ran for a year. I've also had a lot of experience playing percussion and kit with the University Big Band, including a tour of France and some live sound experience.

I have worked on numerous projects at Novation as an Ease of Use officer, overlooking the customer experience, on products like Summit.
