Tony Cruise is a global sound artist who cultivates ideas for musicians, institutions, and brands - including scoring film, sound and instrument design and consulting as well as the development of special projects such as software, books, installations and limited-run merchandising.
In 2020 he was one of twelve global artists selected to attend the Factory Berlin/Beats by Dre/Sonar +D Artist-in-Residence program. He has since composed for London Fashion Week and shortlisted for the 2021 Soho House Design Prize. In 2022, he will design instruments as a Pioneer Works music resident.
Tomorrow’s music divests itself of the symmetry necessitated by capitalism.
Beauty is in the ear of the beholder.
