Saxophonist, clarinettist and composer Tom Bourgeois is a graduate of ENM Villeurbanne and the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles (jazz section). Influenced by the composition classes of Diederik Wissels, he develops a language that oscillates between modern jazz and techniques derived from contemporary music.

Active in the world of cinema, he has written some twenty soundtracks for short-medium-length films and documentaries.
His collaboration with Belgian director Maxime Coton led to the soundtracks for the following films: “La mécanique des corps” 2011, “À l'œuvre” 2012, “Enfants des pierres” 2013, “Le Soldat Inconnu” 2014, “Petite histoire avant d'aller se coucher” 2015, “Après l'Usine” 2019, and the web series “Virages 2020” for RTBF.
Tom is a laureate of the “Trio 2019” scheme, organized by the Maison du Film Court in Paris.
Tom composes for solo piano, with a first collection called “Septembre” released in 2016, and another “Archipel” in 2020, both performed by pianist Lena Kollmeier.

Active as a musician too, Tom composes in a wide variety of styles (jazz, chanson, experimental, large ensembles).
He is also in demand as a sideman in groups such as “Odil”, “Vestige”, “Margaux Vranken Group”, “Jelle Van Giel Group”, etc. ... ...

A double-album was released in 2018, a vinyl-concert-live album in 2019, and a second double-album in 2022 with the German label NeuklangRecords.
