Artist working across sound, transmission, and interactive systems

Toby TomTom is a New York–based composer and interdisciplinary artist exploring communication, longing, and the instability of meaning. Born in Ohio and working between music and installation, he approaches sound as both emotional language and structural system.

An ASCAP award-winning songwriter, his practice resists fixed genre and blends acoustic minimalism with rhythmic and atmospheric experimentation. Across visual and sonic mediums, his work examines how messages travel—through memory, through distortion, through other voices.

His participatory installation, Signals from the Static, extends this inquiry into interactive space, transforming song into transmission ritual. Across mediums, his work returns to a central question: what does it mean to be heard—and what happens when the signal changes in transit?
