- Listen to this with your eyes closed... what scene do u see inside your head?
I wrote this rather non traditionally structured piece in the midst of some serious creators block. I was imagining a scene in my head and decided to put a soundtrack to the action I saw, I would love to know what you imagined or where you thought it might be set? Or any other little scenes you want to see me put a soundtrack to?
let me know in the comments, it'll be an interesting little experiment. hope its not too out there for you.

Start Scene:
The tough antagonist struts into the bar, followed by his three goons. Our protagonist sits by himself at the counter, swishing a beer in his cup. The antagonist strolls up to him, obviously looking for trouble. "We had a deal.", the antagonist says in a gravelly voice. "And I held up my end.", says the protagonist. They face off for about ten seconds, until the antagonist throws a punch at the protagonist. He easily dodges it, and then backs up. "I have no intention of fighting, but I will if you insist.", he says. The antagonist lunges at him, but the protagonist sidesteps, causing the antagonist to crash into a chair and fall. "I told you", says the protagonist, "I have no intention of fighting." An epic fight scene ensues, with the protagonist easily defeating the obviously drunk antagonist and his "henchmen." With horns playing in the background, the protagonist silently slips out just before the police bust in.
Thanks for the pin, Tom!
Definitely see this playing in my head, man I want to film and direct so bad. Nice writing
JT Cabesa wow I read that during this video and it goes so well , well done ! 👏🏻👏🏻
Nice
Headphones Recommend
You all right!!!
Haha these are so good yo! Loving the comments
IT'S THE VOCALS THAT MAKE ME WATCH THIS ON REPEAT. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THIS ENTRANCING QUALITY AND IT'S BOTHERING ME. I think I have a tom thum addiction.
i got goosebumps while listening to it !
Always had a soft-spot for your more smooth jazzy stuff, with trumpet and sax infused beats and some layered vocals on top! Keep preaching the beats champ!
this make me want to go to ur imaginary scene.. love it..
I really like the way he synchronises all those sounds ✌
Ma fav are the scratches, plus the facial expressions are Juss priceless!! Thank u 😂☺️👍🏼
The greatest beatboxer I've seen!
Me too. Damn he is good.
Can everybody just stand still for a moment and bask in the glory of the talent that Tom expresses? Damn man... You truly have no match!
That bass sound is unreal! Watched this 3 times just for that bassline.
Hello Tom,
after following you for years and years there is one thing that need to be said:
You changed Beatbox history.
I mean we all saw some of those "The History of Beatboxing" videos on YT etc., but you will be included in the future ones, because you took beatbox to a new level. a broader are of musical creativity. The way YOU do it, could be implemeted everywhere, from club music to Hollywood music.
Thank You!
I imagined an Arabic desert with abandoned pieces of musical tech that just won't stop playing when you want it to, bizarre I know, but such is my mind
I'm hooked, that haunting trumpet and ridiculous mixing gets me everytime
You can make a trumpet sound better than I can actually play trumpet...
The master at work👌👌
I really like your trumpet sound
This makes me think of an emotional, yet victorious ending to a dramatic crime thriller..
Tom Thum has the best outros.
Omg, that’s so amazing!
I see workers in ancient china, building a huge temple. Their feet walk with the rhythm of the music, while some of them are humming old chinese worker songs. The scratching part confused me though, a picture of a guy breakdancing ontop of the temple flashed through my head. That was interesting.
Philip S. Guy fell down the temple? Haha
The moment when it all comes together is ridiculous. My jaw drops every time man, ur amazing
trying to convince myself that it's not weird to love a guy ! great job man !
Epic as always Tom
I hope you’ll see this Tom. Any chance you can experiment with 80’s style beatbox music. Imagine music from legendary films like Scarface but adding the Thum twist to it, would be pretty interesting to see what that brilliant mind makes even in the moment of creators block.
I see a calm nightlife scene in Berlin with a new black Mercedes Benz driving at normal speed through popular streets and quarters with lights reflections on the surface of the car. A scene without any sound effects and foley. Maybe it is a little bit of cliché but yeah that's basically what I have in my mind hearing this. When the trumpet comes in I see a dolly shot into a live music club or a typical Berlin-style trendy nightclub.
I hope it does not sound presumptuous when I ask for "How to make a crackling disct sound" tutorial. But anyway: keep up the good work! I just love your beatboxing!
When you do the drone at 1:16-1:33, the scene I imagine is like a high paced Amazon jungle chase scene.
And then 1:54 and on with the trumpet makes me think of like an old Jazz bar filmed in modern with that modern twist, the scene depicting the lead in an intense Salsa, with some sexual tension.
LiquiD Soda haha dope! This is the kind of comment I was looking for
Woah, I didn't think you'd see it so fast haha, I wasn't quite done.
Thanks for a swift reply though mate
4 years and only 122k views... This should have millions of views. It's insane, just thinking that some creators have shi* content with millions of views and this guy has a talent that not everyone can do and still... Anyway. Sad but it's the reality.
It has a somewhat Egyptian sound to it, so I see a scene with pyramids and camels in the background and a DJ with a lot of synthesizers and shit in the foreground. xD
To describe an imaginary scene, difficult but here's what my mind conjured up as my ears absorbed this amazing vocal talent.
I see a mixure of slo mo and time lapse visuals of Tom walking though a city metropolis moving from one point of interest to the next, drawing inspiration from the environment and it's inhabitants. From sleepy nightclubs, a smooth jazz lounge, talented buskers and other urban sounds. Tom takes it all in and in his mind creates this beautiful sound. Beatboxception
Mad skills
I show you to every new people I meet keep slaying those Beats
You really went all in on the chaos, Props home boy, You killed it
My mouth was open the whole time, you're just such an artist. Immediately sharing this with my other beatboxer friends.
This feels like ending of a game/movie, I absolutely love this!
this sounds like the build up and start to a dope as martial arts fight
Kempachi 116 haha I'm loving all these comments
Love the scratches... Want a tutorial on lead rhythm and flute
Your trumpet is the best man. I don't think anybody out there who can match that. I find your trumpet better than real ones. There is some true jazz flavor in your trumpet voice and tunes. Cheers.
Great job bro!! Love your work. I would love to see you pick a scene from a movie and score it and make the sounds from it
I think that would be cool!!
Shaun Hughes did u see the scene I did from terminator?
