Konx-om-Pax is the moniker of Glasgow-based composer and visual artist Tom Scholefield.
Konx-Om-Pax develops projects that challenge format and expectation — responding to architecture, context and audience with precision and intent. His work sits at the intersection of sound, image and space, positioning him as one of the most distinctive audiovisual artists working internationally today.
In January 2026 he performed at SWG3, Glasgow, supporting Max Cooper, signalling growing demand for his immersive live shows. He is currently commissioned by Sonica Glasgow 2026 to create a large-scale sonic and visual mapping project for a historic house — a bold, site-responsive work expanding his long-standing dialogue between music, architecture and perception.
In 2025 he became a Cryptic Artist following the international success of UAXUCTUM, a major Cryptic commission premiered at Glasgow’s IMAX during Sonica 2024. The work has since travelled to London, Porto and Rome, including Fotonica Festival in an immersive dome setting. The score was released via his Display Copy label in 2025, cementing his reputation for expansive, spatial composition.
Since 2020 his practice has intensified through modular synthesis and generative systems, culminating in the ongoing System Works EP series — a platform for deeper audiovisual experimentation.
Earlier milestones include touring Ways of Seeing across Europe (Mira Festival, Barcelona; Red Bull Music Festival, Istanbul), and the global breakthrough of “Cascada”, featured in Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2018 Haute Couture show. Return to Cascada (2020), featuring a Skee Mask remix supported by Four Tet and Mary Anne Hobbs, further amplified his international profile.
He curated Contemporary Hardcore at Berlin Atonal in 2018 — a striking convergence of rave heritage and forward-facing visuals — and has collaborated on live AV performances with Kode9, Hudson Mohawke and Lone.
His catalogue spans Regional Surrealism (Planet Mu, 2012), Caramel (2016, shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year 2017) and Ways of Seeing (2019), establishing a sonic language defined by emotional depth and structural clarity.
Performing and creating between club culture, festivals and contemporary art institutions, Konx-Om-Pax constructs environments rather than performances — immersive systems where sound and image are inseparable, and the experience is total.
