Alex Thomen Music

I’m Alex Thomen, a pianist, composer, producer, and educator based in Denver, CO. My music spans solo piano, rock bands, cinematic scores, and full symphonic works, blending orchestration, film-trailer intensity, and piano-powered pop hooks. Born in Chanute, KS, I started composing young with a Casio keyboard and early Cakewalk software, which sparked a lifelong passion for music production. After earning a B.M. in Composition from Kansas State University and an M.M. in Commercial Composition/Arranging in Nashville, I’ve scored films, written for music libraries, and had placements on Australian Idol and Australian Survivor. I’ve collaborated with world-class musicians while bringing energy, precision, and honesty to every performance. As Assistant Professor and Program Director of Recording Arts at the University of Colorado Denver, I teach audio post, surround sound, and Pro Tools. I’m also an Avid Master Instructor in Sibelius and author of Fundamentals of Notation with Sibelius.
