Music Production Crash Course 2023!

admin — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 15:29:59 +0000

I’m pleased to say that my Music Production Crash Course is returning this summer! Sessions are available throughout July and August 2023.

This was a lot of fun last summer and students worked to complete recordings of their own compositions or cover songs (for example one student created a fantastic short version of Don Henley’s ‘Boys Of Summer – complete with drums, bass and guitar!).

My home studio is equipped with a variety of live and virtual instruments so I’m happy to help students work in any genres of music that interest them.

If you’d like to book a place please contact me on tom@tomhunt.co.uk

New EP ‘Into The Unknown’ now available!

I’m very excited to say that my new Alt-Folk EP ‘Into The Unknown’ was released on Saturday! You can preview all 6 tracks here:

https://tomhunt.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-unknown-ep

Here is a description of the EP:

“This uplifting and reflective alt-folk EP was created over 3 years and was inspired by themes including hiking, meditation and wild scenery. Songs such as ‘True Home’ describe the deep sense of contentment found walking in the mountains. Others like ‘Trust’ are written about the impermanence of the mental storms we pass through.

This EP blends folk acoustic and bluesy electric guitar tones, warm 80s synth sounds and intricate vocal melodies.

All songs were written and performed by Tom Hunt except for flute on ‘How We Used To Feel’ which was performed by Hannah Hunt.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Tom Hunt.”

I’ve put a lot of work and time into this but it’s ultimately been a real pleasure to put together. I hope you enjoy listening and stay tuned for some radio play of the EP in the coming weeks (more details to follow)!

My music on French TV show: ‘Entre Ciel Et Terre: Jordanie’

I’m very excited to see that my music is now featured on French TV several times a month! The track used is called ‘Uneasy Dreams’ and is part of the soundtrack for ‘Entre Ciel Et Terre: Jordanie’ – currently broadcast on channels such as TV5Monde and Ushuaia TV.

This programme investigates the mysterious Lost City of Petra – a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the ‘New 7 Wonders Of The World’.

It’s not very straightforward to watch it in this country (although you may find it online), and so I hope my French friends enjoy it! If I find a way, I will make sure to share any clips.

Also look out for any clips from ‘Open Skies’ – A Czech Republic TV show that has picked up the same composition.

BSL Music Tuition (Deaf Students Welcome!)

admin — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 13:45:52 +0000

PLEASE TURN ON SUBTITLES IF REQUIRED. This is a BSL video that I have created to let Deaf students know that they are welcome in my music lessons. My main teaching areas are guitar, bass and music production and I am currently a level 4 BSL student.

I have been teaching, composing and performing music for over ten years. However, as I am new to teaching Deaf students I am offering the 1st lesson free so students can check that they are happy first (afterwards the fee is £30 per hour or £15 per half hour).

For more details please explore my website and you can contact me via: lessons@tomhunt.co.uk or tom@tomhunt.co.uk.

‘On Mt Luxmore’ new song and lyrics

admin — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 20:00:32 +0000

I’ve been playing around with a few song ideas in recent months and last weekend was a big and unexpected dose of inspiration. Fortunately I had time to take advantage of it and so moved into the studio and finished my track ‘On Mt Luxmore’.

It’s a song about a hike I went on in New Zealand that besides being stunningly good looking, came at a pivotal time in my life. It had such a profound and restorative effect on me, that I decided to go on many more similar adventures over the coming years. I hope you enjoy it and for those who are interested here are the lyrics:

‘On Mt Luxmore’

In a hut on the top of the world
I spent some time with my friends
In a lawless and beautiful land
Where history belonged only to the hills

And I’ll never forget the sun setting
Over the mountains of Fiordland
Nor the feeling that I was content
Not four walls but a timeless home

I felt that there was nothing left but the view ahead
Just this, no past to trouble my soul

Stepping above the clouds
Was to leave all memories below
Fresh as the emerald fire
Sweeping over the fellside

The untouched wilderness
Stripped me to my purity
Earlier than I can express
Where I have always been

I felt that there was nothing left but the view ahead
Just this, no past to trouble my soul
