These six songs date from somewhere around 1992. I vaguely remember recording some of them, but I don’t recall much about the occasion. Some of these songs are multiple layers, with drums and flute added for a nice effect. There’s about 50 minutes of music here, and to be honest, it’s not necessarily all great. But it at least serves to illustrate my progress over the last 20 years.

I discovered this on a cassette tape that was stuck in a bin in the basement. It’s probably been there for a decade. I’m glad it survived!

I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday season, and all the best for 2011. Thank you for listening to my music. I appreciate your comments and encouragement so much. I’m looking forward to making a third CD in 2011. Hopefully this one will include some classical music as well as original work. Do have a safe and warm holiday, and stay tuned to Tim’s Sounds!

Christmas is a time of tenderness and warmth, and bells. So many Christmas songs mention bells, or are about bells. This is my attempt to play “bell-like.” It’s my Christmas gift to you. I hope you enjoy it!

The Vespers is a time set aside for calm contemplation and reflection. The Evening Vespers mark the end of the hectic day and the beginning of settling down for the night. Vespers are often accompanied by calming music. Enjoy this music this evening, and have your own Evening Vespers.

There is a pianist I hope to meet soon. When I do, perhaps I’ll understand this song.

Finally, after a long summer hiatus, I’m starting to think about recording again. The weather is turning cool, gray skies are more frequent, and my mood is turning towards more inward pursuits.

This bit is an exercise, really, to work the kinks out of my hands as a sort of warm-up. Whether or not it’s pretty, it’s a good example of how I keep my hands in shape. Enjoy!

As summer winds up, the amount of time I’m willing to spend inside recording new music winds down. So you probably won’t be seeing very much new stuff from me until the fall weather turns sour and I’m once again forced to begin my winter burrowing. I do have plenty of vintage music that I haven’t uploaded yet, so I’ll be sharing some of that through the summer. Stay tuned!

This little composition experiments with ever moving chord structure and dynamics. It’s vaguely reminiscent of some Bach compositions, but of course not nearly as rich and complex as those incredible explorations. But then again, I’m no Bach, and so that comparison isn’t even valid! Anyway, give a listen and let me know if you enjoy it.

Really not much more than a Sunday morning doodle in D-flat major.

It was one year ago today that Tim’s Sounds was launched, with the vision of making my music available to a wider audience than I’ve ever had before. I’m pleased to say that in that time, I’ve released two CDs, and had over 4,000 downloads! That’s a lot of music going to a lot of places!

I couldn’t be more pleased with how the site has done. Thank you for all your support, and keep on listening, more good stuff is always on the way!
