   About Tim Chaplin/Luminous
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

After working with local bands and musicians, Tim decided to go it alone in the late nineties. Working on solo singer/songwriter music under his own name and adopting the Luminous moniker for his electronic/experimental output soon afterwards.

1998 saw the release of the self financed 'CD EP' - a solo four-song promo CD-R for the radio and press. The debut Luminous release in 1999, was the inclusion of 'It's Bass, Jim, But Not As We Know It', on the highly acclaimed '...Eclipse Of The Moon And Falling Star' compilation album on Fi Sci Records.

The official debut solo release was the 7" single 'Here Comes Down', on the well respected French label Plastic Pancake in 2000. Various releases followed, on labels such as Shifty Disco, Paranoise, Clinical Archives, Golden Pathway, 23 seconds, 267 lattajjaa, Hikikomori Records and Tim's own label Tara Records. A new solo acoustic album is due soon...

The most recent project is Factory Kids, Tim's partnership with Christina Marie. Initially having introduced themselves with two compilation appearances, their self titled album is out now on Powertool Records.

We've got a new release - sculptural noise-jazz structures by one-man-project from Kiev.



This is a story of solid but disperse layer of irregular noise being methodically spread over the acoustic plane of a grand piano that was cynically squashed with echo-effect.

A mini-CD comes in an illustrated 5-page hand-made mini-book.
