Thomas first met Ross Hendy in 1992 at the Big Piano in the first-year composition lecture room at Victoria University. Employed from 1998 to 2006 as Promethean Editions' Music Editor, Thomas has overseen the typesetting, editing and proofing of all the music published during that time, and he was also responsible for dealing with composers on a day-to-day basis.
He enjoys nothing more than sitting down with a brand new manuscript score, a cup of tea and Kurt Stone’s Music Notation in the Twentieth Century – A Practical Guide. He has worked towards creating a modern, practical and elegant house style of musical notation for Promethean Editions, one which is at once consistent yet flexible enough to represent the various musical styles employed by different composers.
Outside of working hours, Thomas plays electric violin in Wellington pop band The Sproutts, sometimes composes music to order, and spends time thinking about whether or not it's time yet to own a kitten.
