Thomas Green has a reputation in Brisbane (Australia) as a
versatile composer whose focus is finding a musical home between
many and varied streams, often seamlessly melding classical and
contemporary idioms.He is the recipient of various government
grants, commissions and is a prize-winner in national composition
competitions.
Thomas completed his PhD in 2016, and his music has premiered
around Australia and internationally, with performances in Italy,
France, the US, the UK, Croatia and China in recent years. In
2021 he has been commissioned for the renowned ANAM Set and most
recently has been selected by the ABC's Fresh Start Fund to
compose a suite of music for violinist Camille Barry.
He has composed and arranged music for the Sydney Symphony (with
Josh Pyke on his ARIA-winning album, Josh Pyke Live at the Sydney
Opera House), the Australian String Quartet, Katie Noonan, Opera
Qld, La Boite Theatre, Plexus (Melbourne), and the Brisbane-based
organisations Collusion Music, Trichotomy, Trivium Ensemble, the
Black Square Quartet and Argo. In 2017 he was commissioned by the
Queensland Music Festival to write a concerto for Manu Delago and
QYO. In 2018 his original dance music for Turbine, a show by
Collusion, was toured in Brisbane and Shanghai, and in 2019 his
music was featured on Katie Noonan's AIR and ARIA-nominated
album, The Glad Tomorrow, and in 2021 he is collaborating with
Katie Noonan again, writing music for AVÉ.
Thomas is an expert in electronic music production and is a
founding member of the acoustic/electronic performance duo,
Shugorei, with Nozomi Omote. Shugorei released its self-titled
debut album in 2021. Thomas also produces experimental electronic
music under the moniker Praxis Axis, which, while it is
demonstrative of a considerable stylistic stretch away from
contemporary art music, is at the same time simply another facet
of his extraordinarily manifold musical language. He currently
lectures in music theory at the Queensland Conservatorium.
