Tutors
Max Thomson
Home-grown and passionate, Max is a one of a kind musician. He seamlessly blends the roles of composer and engineer to produce music and sound that dares to be new and exciting. He has worked tirelessly for music in many capacities, working with a multitude of bands. His style and taste is dark and industrial and the music and visuals he creates reflects this. Max recently completed his degree in sound design and audio-visual practice by repurposing a television to produce ocillographics. Upon discovering this new technique, Max has made it his mission to bring such a niche, unappreciated new art form to Dumfries in the hopes of inspiring others to think sustainably and creatively about the technology they possess.
Calum Walker
Calum is a composer and musician based in Scotland. As well as a lifelong student of music, he is dedicated to visual and interactive arts and their sound worlds. Since beginning guitar lessons in his early years, he has performed live with many bands and ensembles across the UK, including Turbyne, with whom he has released albums to critical acclaim. Currently, he is pursuing a career as a composer, studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Integrating elements of classical, electronica, jazz and heavy metal, Calum continues to develop his personalized approach to music creation.
