Professor Elemental Father Of Invention
|
Tom Caruana has many strings to his bow, but he doesn't play the violin. He does play drums, bass, guitar, keyboards and specialises in music production. His experience ranges from working with rappers, singers and musicians in studio and live environments, to reworking classic acapellas in a series of renound remix albums. His work has caught the attention of The Chicagoist, The New York Times, The Guardian and Edgar Wright.
His production styles vary massively: jazz & humour (Professor Elemental), folk infused hip-hop (Bombadeal), instrumental jazz-breaks (Klondike Kids) and classic mashup material (Wu Tang vs The Beatles / Jimi Hendrix). He started out by making music in his parent's basement, making tons of odd songs and putting them onto one off cassettes. Then he moved to London and started hip hop supergroup The Boiler Room Collective. Although this wasn't actually a real group, the following were regulars in the studio: Wordsmith, Genesis Elijah, Dr Syntax, Ahmos, Red Master & Teej. At around the same time Tom had started The Menagerie with Elemental, Nick Maxwell & Dr Syntax. Tom plays in funk/hip hop group Son Of Sam with John Sam, Joe Sam & Dutch Courage. Tom & Dutch Courage have their own instrumental based project called Klondike Kids. As well as providing production on individual tracks for a wide range of artists, Tom has produced complete albums for Wordsmith, Professor Elemental, Dr Syntax, Dizraeli & Teej. "Caruana is a producer of considerable imagination, skill and potential". (The Guardian newspaper) Read 'A conversation with Tom Caruana' via M3 |
