Hearth is my music project, of which has been inspired by music and sounds throughout everyday life.   

All of my tracks are uploaded as a lossless and all are free for you to download either on this site or my Bandcamp page.

Main influences include sci-fi, nature, games, post-rock and Carl Sagan.

I use Ableton 9 software to record, mix, master. If you wish to use my music in your own projects, or just want to get in touch, just pop me a message or email me at: hearth_music@hotmail.com  

Currently Hearth consists of myself, although my brother has managed to pitch his thoughts on a couple of tunes now and then. I hope to expand and am open to collaborations. 

Many thanks to those who listen, comment, like, re-post and download. 

An indie/genre-spanning singer-songwriter from Somerset

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.
