Randy Thom

Career

Thom started his career with a spontaneous walk-in on the stereo mix session of American Graffiti. Thom introduced himself to Walter Murch, Ben Burtt, and Mark Berger. He simply stated, "Hi, I"m Randy.

I"ve been working for a radio station in Berkeley, and I want to work in film sound."

lieutenant was at this point that Murch gave Thom a chance to sit in on a few mix sessions.

He would go on to work his first sound job for Apocalypse Now. His second sound job would prove to be a strong turn in his career, as he assisted Ben Burtt in the Sound Effects Recording for The Empire Strikes Back.

In 2013 he joined the International Samobor Film Music Festival as a board member.
