Originally from the remote Pennine region of Northern England, composer and guitarist Thomas MacMillan has been an active force in Berlin’s independent music scene since 2018. Alongside performing with his alt-rock project Carnivalesque and collaborating with art-rock icon Kat Koan, he writes music for solo guitar. Drawing inspiration from video game composers such as Akira Yamaoka and Nobuo Uematsu, as well as the niche micro-genre Fogcore, his forthcoming EP explores liminal spaces, analog horror, and nostalgia – a sound world that feels both comforting and quietly unsettling.
