About Me

Tom Foster is a Boston-based film composer, music producer, and sound designer whose work blends emotional storytelling with a refined technical craft. Originally from South Africa, he has shaped music and sound for stories ranging from intimate character pieces to large-scale environmental documentaries, collaborating with organizations and creatives such as Netflix, UNESCO, HarperCollins, the Save Our Seas Foundation, and renowned voices including Dr. Jane Goodall and Yo-Yo Ma.

Tom specializes in narrative-driven, emotionally resonant scoring that balances expressive composition with detailed production. His approach blends acoustic & hybrid writing and thoughtful orchestration, guided by a sensitivity to character, pacing, and visual rhythm. Whether shaping a textural atmosphere or writing a melody that carries an entire film, he prioritizes intention, nuance, and deep collaboration with directors and editors.
