Collaboration is my jam. I thrive on understanding your vision and bringing it to life through sound. My dual perspective as a musician and an engineer means I anticipate your needs before you even voice them. Together, we'll elevate your music to new heights.

I made a recording/mixing session with Tom Lecompte the last month and I dont have any negative point to evocate. As a professionnal sound engineer, he was able to understand and apply with precisions every details we wanna shuffle into our song. Morever, he know perfecly how to use his multiple hardware stuff and encourage, without leading, artist in the studio to experiment with and let their creativity talk completly. Highly recommend their services !

I recorded my first album at Airval Studio two years ago, Tom worked on every part of it's production and did very well. From recording to mixing, he respected my project and willings, doing his absolute best to make me comfortable and serving the music. The best environment and the best engineer I had the pleasure to work with in 15 years, I definitely know where my future projects will be produced from now on.
