Tom is tremendously talented in all areas of post production sound and his studio is easily the best in Minnesota, likely the Midwest. In addition to the uncommon breadth of Tom’s talents, he also brings a deep passion to each project such that he goes above and beyond simply providing superior service — he pushes the end result to the highest level possible. For my most recent feature film, Tom was able to create a level of sound quality that matches or exceeds that of many studio films with 50X the production budget — a remarkable achievement.

I was really impressed with the soundtrack Tom Hambleton created for TPT’s documentary, Kevin Kling: Lost and Found.  The score is an important creative element of the documentary, adding so much energy, emotion, and drama.  Tom showed a real understanding and sensitivity to Kevin’s story and his music vividly captures Kevin’s highly original outlook on life and his art.  The variety and originality of musical tracks and themes Tom created was impressive especially given the very tight production timeline.  Tom has real skill and versatility as a composer and he’s also a pleasure to work with.
— Catherine Allen, Senior Executive Producer, Twin Cities Public Television
Dude, these are soooooo cool.... wow. I would totally buy this score on iTunes as complementary tracks to the final mixed soundtrack.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Tom and has crew at Undertone Music for our post-production sound on The Legend of Swee’ Pea.  Their mixes of our expansive New York and and Las Vegas cityscapes sounded tremendous in the theater.  The intimate moments of verite were superbly measured.  Tom is an artist and will elevate your project with his attention.  We’ll definitely mix our next project at Undertone.

I don’t even have to walk into Tom’s shop to know how talented he is. For 4 films we’ve had a great exchange, whether he’s scoring from animatics or words that describe, he always seems to hit it. I have always enjoyed waking up to wav files in my in box of what he’s scored the day/night before to studio time to finally his awesome stage and before you know it, there it is ~ his original score, sound design, 5.1 mix all coming to life! He brings a whole new dimension to our projects and a great collaboration.

Our film is underlaid by the subtle exploratory soundscape by Tom which masterfully interweaves the sounds of winter, the human voice, electronics and tibetan meditation bowls into an evocative and delicate exploration of the audible soul of winter and solitude.
— Alexander Palache Gutterman, Director, In Winter
Tom Hambleton is a very talented mixer/editor. His knowledge of the craft is impeccable. He supervised the Foley on a film that I mixed and it easily compared - if not exceeded - the tone of work done by many major facilities in Hollywood. He’s truly is a powerhouse of talent. He takes his work seriously with every film and it shows!
— Tim Hoogenakker , Re-recording Mixer, Formasa Group: Family Weekend 
Tom is a true professional in every sense of the word. His studio is state of the art and the only Dolby approved stage in the Midwest. I’ve done three films with Tom, 2 features and a short. He treated both projects with the same first class integrity despite the budgetary differences. I would recommend Tom and his team at Undertone Music, Inc. for any post-production sound job. Whether it’s a film, television program, commercial, industrial, or any other professional project, Tom and his crew are sure to deliver results.
