Tom Gibbons is a Sound Designer and Composer for theatre, musical theatre, film and live installation.
“Animal Farm - Birmingham Rep
It is superbly done.
”
“People Places Things - Wyndham’s Theatre
... Tom Gibbons’ often terrifying sound design add to the woozy sense of disorientation and alienation.”
“A View From The Bridge - Lyceum Theater
Mr. van Hove’s “Bridge” is, if anything, even more relentless in its aura of grim predestination. The music we hear from the beginning is that of an insistently throbbing requiem. Other subliminal noises — of distant thunder and drums — tune our nerves into a state of perpetual foreboding. (Tom Gibbons is the Sound Designer) ”
