Steven Wayne Thomas is an Adjunct Lecturer in Music specializing in Composition: Music Scoring for Visual Media at the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University. Based in Los Angeles, he brings over two decades of industry experience as a film composer, audio engineer, and post-production music editor.
His academic foundation began at the University of Colorado College of Music, followed by professional development through immersive industry experience rather than formal graduate degrees.
Thomas's expertise centers on film scoring and music composition for visual media, with deep specialization in audio engineering, music technology integration, and Hollywood-style post-production workflows. His creative-technical approach bridges cinematic storytelling with technical precision, evident in feature films like The Outpost, Tesla 2020, and Child’s Play 2 where he served as composer, score mixer, and music editor.
At Indiana University, Thomas teaches within the Department of Music Scoring for Visual Media while simultaneously directing the Palomar Film Scoring Workshop—a professional intensive program emphasizing collaborative scoring techniques, industry networking, and real-world picture-music synchronization.
