Tommy Perman is a Scottish artist, designer and musician who tries to blur the edges between these three disciplines by collaborating with other people.
His most recent music releases are Sing the Gloaming (2020, Blackford Hill) and Emergent Slow Arcs (2019, Fire Records) and Positive Interactions – a self-released album made entirely from happy sounds that can be ‘purchased’ with a happy message.
He won a BAFTA for co-creating an ‘emotional robot band’ called Cybraphon which is now part of the permanent collection in the National Museum of Scotland.
His visual design work has been seen across numerous high profile books, websites, record sleeves, and even projected on the Sydney Opera House.

Sing The Gloaming
Sing the Gloaming is a collaboration between Professor Simon Kirby and artist/musicians Tommy Perman and Rob St. John, taking its inspiration from Simon’s research in the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Language Evolution.
It’s a project on light, language and landscape, created using experimental art and music, featuring some of Scotland’s finest vocalists: Kenny Anderson (King Creosote), Nerea Bello, Aidan Moffat, Emily Scott (Modern Studies), Su Shaw (SHHE), Hanna Tuulikki and Andrew Wasylyk.
