Hi, I'm Sam Tout. I’m a Perth-based multi-instrumentalist and composer with over 10 years’ experience creating original music. My work focuses on atmospheric, cinematic instrumental compositions, ranging from intimate ambient textures to dynamic, full-band arrangements, always tailored to support the tone and intent of each project. I work professionally as an audio-visual technician, giving me a strong technical understanding of digital audio and production workflows. I’m highly proficient across DAWs, with Cubase as my primary platform for recording, composing, and mixing. I’ve contributed to recordings for a range of artists within the Perth music scene, most recently performing lap steel guitar and keyboards for local pop/rock artist Tim Schilperoort. In 2024, I released my debut instrumental album 'Just Floating Around', with my second album, 'Echoes in Balance', scheduled for release in February 2026. I have a strong passion for film and visual storytelling and believe music plays a vital role in shaping emotion, mood, and narrative. My compositional style is influenced by film composers such as Thomas Newman, Jesper Kyd, and Ludwig Göransson, among others.
