Tomfoolio is a Chicago-area trip hop artist who specializes in collage music, sampling from varied sources across genres spanning traditional ethnic, classical, swing, jazz, rock, funk and soul. Heavily influenced by Romantic composers such as Rachmaninoff, film composers such as Eric Serra and Danny Elfman, and downtempo and instrumental hip hop artists such as Lemon Jelly and DJ Shadow, his pieces are frequently nonlinear and intensely visual.
While the pseudonym "Tomfoolio" is whimsical, his music is often quite serious. Back to Zero, for example, deals with themes ranging from cultural conflict to war and death.
