Tom Eaton is a GRAMMY® nominated ambient composer and multi-instrumentalist whose studio, Sounds & Substance, is in New Hampshire’s rural countryside.

“A veritable master class in the art of mood-building and sound design. Eaton demonstrates the sensitivity of a landscape painter in his arrangement of tonal colour”

TEXTURA

ABOUT TOM

Using vintage and modern synthesizers, electric and lap steel guitars, fretted and fretless basses, myriad sonic sculpting devices, field recordings, and his signature piano, Tom composes what Ambient Music Guide calls “lush, shadowed, emotional music that’s rich in harmonies and oceanic layers and…so deliciously slow.”

​

The spatial and dynamic aesthetic of the classic Hearts of Space, Windham Hill, and Private Music albums resonates through Tom’s work, described by Hypnagogue as “breathtaking…rich, complex and beautifully structured.”

​

Tom’s music has been featured on NPR's Echoes, Hearts of Space, Star’s End, SiriusXM, NPR, and many other programs. His 2021 album Brothers with Will Ackerman and Jeff Oster was nominated for the Best New Age GRAMMY® award.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“LUSHLY AND INTRICATELY PRODUCED, BEAUTIFULLY MEDITATIVE AND HIGHLY VULNERABLE…EATON REVEALS HIMSELF TO BE AN INCREDIBLE STORYTELLER.”

THE JW VIBE

"STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF THREE MUSICAL LEGENDS COLLABORATING AS “ONE,” BROTHERS IS THE TENDER, TOUCHING, AND PROFOUNDLY POIGNANT ALBUM FROM WILL ACKERMAN, JEFF OSTER, AND TOM EATON.  EACH AND EVERY TRACK WILL REMAIN ETCHED DEEPLY INTO YOUR SOUL LONG AFTER THE MUSIC STOPS."

"...IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE TECHNICAL WIZARDRY TOM EATON APPLIES TO HIS WORK WITH OTHER ARTISTS IS TEMPERED WITH THE SOUL OF A TRUE ARTIST."

"INDESTERREN IS A PROFOUNDLY GORGEOUS ALBUM THAT IS SURELY DESTINED TO BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THE WISTFULLY HAUNTING MELODIES HEREIN SEEM TO FULLY EXPRESS WITHOUT DIRECTLY REVEALING A CLOSELY GUARDED EMOTIONAL SECRET, OFTEN ALLUDING TO NIGHTS SPENT IN SOLITUDE AND PONDERING UNDER THE STARS. AS WITH ABENDROMEN, TOM EATON HAS CREATED YET ANOTHER MASTERPIECE THAT IS EVERY BIT AS MOVING, MYSTERIOUS AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE STUNNING THAN ITS PREDECESSOR!"

"SEVEN CONVERSATIONS MAKES FOR A MAJESTIC AND MIND-OPENING COLLECTION OF PIECES THAT GENERATE FURTHER INTEREST WITH EACH SUBSEQUENT PLAY."

ABENDROMEN IS A VERY HAPPY SURPRISE FOR THOSE (LIKE ME!) WHO ONLY KNEW OR KNOW TOM EATON FOR HIS WIZARDRY AT IMAGINARY ROAD STUDIOS. THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL ALBUM OF MOSTLY AMBIENT AND ETHERAL MUSIC.
