Milburn and Hajdu moved to New York after graduating and started collaborating with film director
Mark Pellington at
MTV and film editors
Hank Corwin and Bruce Ashley in the UK. Soon their work was being used in commercials, TV shows, feature films, art installations and record projects. Tomandandy quickly grew and they built a number of recording studios in New York and later in Los Angeles. In 1992, Tomandandy appeared on the
Red Hot Organization's dance compilation album,
Red Hot + Dance, contributing an original dance track, "Theme From Red Hot & Dance (Gothic Mix)." The album attempted to raise awareness and money in support of the
AIDS epidemic, and all proceeds were donated to AIDS charities. In 2009, Tomandandy won Best Horror Score (runner-up) in
Fangorias Chainsaw Award for their score to
The Strangers. In 2020, Tomandandy's Tom Hajdu reflected on
The Strangers soundtrack during an interview. ==Selected discography==
