Tim Donlou: on fender rhodes, arp 2600, korg ms2000, guitars, and a shiny computer.
Influences
King Tubby, Bernie Worell, Steve Reich, Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv.
Sounds Like
humpback bass bombs, passerine filter zaps, orthopteran grainwaves and microbial step sequences mashed with some cylon acapellas, jawa handclaps, and pakune beatboxing.
Equally at home hanging from a tree branch or bouncing off concrete, Santa Cruz's Timonkey (Tim Donlou) fuses organic and synthetic elements together in order to bridge the worlds of nature and technology: "Branching patterns, mineral lattices, geological timescapes - the living earth is as much an influence on my music as King Tubby, Bernie Worrell, or Steve Reich ever were."
From its roots in dub, funk and ambient music, Timonkey's sound has been evolving further into the synthetic realms of midtempo glitch. He crafts his tracks using a combination of found sounds, analog synths, live instruments, and software wizardry, all from under the shade of the ancient redwoods. Influenced by years of collaboration with the 13 Moontribe, Raindance, and Nexus crews, he brings a unique flavor to the West Coast underground.
He has 5 releases out on SF's Muti Music so far: 2004's Mammals On the Brink, 2007's Cloud City EP, 2008's Cerulea, and 2009's Infinite and Molecular Forest.
