Growing up in Germany, my love for music has no starting point. Like the air we breathe it seems to have been with me for as long as I can remember. Its constant presence was my solace, my anchor, and a compass throughout childhood. While I was mostly surrounded by classical music then, my passion for modern genres soon led me to Los Angeles, where I spent over 15 years composing for film and video games. Immersed in Hollywood’s vibrant bustle of stylistic eclecticism, I eventually felt the need for restraint and simplicity to find a more personal, authentic voice. 

​

This search gave birth to Tom Cosmo, a project blending the restraint of minimalism, the emotional clarity of anime music, and my love for jazz and electronic experimentation. In Tom Cosmo, I take a step back, allowing minimal piano music to become a meditative space for rediscovering my creative essence. It is both a continuation of my artistic evolution and a pursuit of authenticity, combining the traditions and innovations that define my journey.

​

Tom Cosmo’s releases serve as musical snapshots documenting this ongoing, open-ended search. My hope is that sharing this musical travelogue helps others find a similar meditative, reflective space. If at the least they can offer even one person a moment of calm and peace, a breath of fresh air in an ever-accelerating world of polished superficiality, this project will not have gone in vain.

 

Thank you for you interest.
