Tom Godbert is a composer for film, advertising, theatre and games based across Melbourne and Wellington. Originally from Melbourne, he comes from a varied musical background, with experience in orchestral performance, jazz combo playing, electronic music production and songwriting.
In 2024 Tom began a residency at the Australian Centre of the Moving Image through ACMI X, where he worked out of an office alongside other creative professionals in the heart of Melbourne. During this time he scored over 20 films, including both shorts and features, and designed sound and composed music for plays featured in the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Melbourne Fringe, and Midsumma. Tom also gained experience in writing music for advertising during this period; his music has been featured in campaigns for internationally recognised brands like Mercedes-Benz, as well as staple Australia-based brands such as Mutimer and Volley.
In 2025 Tom temporarily relocated to Wellington, New Zealand where he completed a Master's of Film Scoring at Te Herenga Waka (VUW, New Zealand School of Music). During this time he also assisted Wellington-based composers David Long and Stephen Gallagher on various feature film and television projects as an intern, including their Emmy-winning score for the television series Secrets At Red Rocks.
Tom is passionate about communicating stories through music, and has helped artists across all disciplines bring their works to life. His music has been featured in works across Australia, New Zealand and beyond.
