In his downtime, Tom likes nothing better than chilling before a log fire in his rural hideaway, a glass of Redbreast (15 year old) in one hand, a copy of Hans Richter's Dada: Art and Anti-Art in the other, jazz music quietly playing on the stereo, maybe hot trumpeter Laura Jurd or Jasper Høiby's Phronesis. ​
