About Me


"A Patchwork Mismatch of Buxom Bleets and Wonky Honking"

....restless ears indulge

i'm tom hill. i used to be in the electronica duo, wauvenfold.

Penfold Plum started out very differently to what you hear on this page. This was mainly due to the fact that, at the time of writing 'scribbled i infant' (debut mini album released on wichita records) i had very limited resources with which to produce music -just a drum machine, a four track tape mixing desk and some casio keyboards.
Nowadays, Penfold Plum works predominantly on soundtracks for animations and short films, however, I have almost enough unreleased tracks now to put another album out. If / When I do, i'll post bulletins and advertise it on here.
Feel free to contact me if you're in need of a 'Plum style soundtrack to an animation, film or short video, or if you just want to say hello. And please make your thoughts known on the possibilty of a new Penfold Plum album, just to give me some idea of what the interest is out there...

English for Immigrants

What is it that scares people about seeing a computer on stage?Some plank accused me of miming the guitar at a gig the other day. He thought I was faking it. Our conversation went something like this:...
