Biography

Timothy has been playing piano for 37 years, 27 of them in public. He has worked as a solo performer and in a multitude of bands in Adelaide, South Australia where he is a much sought-after keyboard player. His interest in solo piano he credits to hearing solo guitarist Leo Kottke in his teens. He has also admired the style of other solo guitarists including Dan Crary and Doc Watson.

Timothy's favourite style of music, he says, is jazz-bluegrass or Newgrass music. Among keyboard players he admires but has no intention of trying to emulate are Fats Waller, Chick Corea, Philip Aaberg and among other musicians Mike Marshall, Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer. In 2001, he independently released Uncovered Keys, a CD of original piano solos, which has been favourably reviewed by Indie Music Review, Solo Piano Publications, Wind and Wire, The Instrumental Weekly and Alternate Music Press. In 2004, the opening track, 'Denouement' was nominated for 'Best Solo Piano Song' in the 'Just Plain Folks' Music Awards.

Timothy's music has been described as non-pedestrian, challenging, a sub-genre, brimming with creativity, highly accessible, refreshing & awe-inspiring and having a casual elegance. His music is borne from the delicate combination of extraordinary musicianship and a deep, intuitive sense of composition.

In 2005, he released his second collection of original piano solos, Scenes from the Neighbourhood, which includes a bonus CD-ROM video track. The CD has also received amazing reviews by Solo Piano Publications, Wind and Wire, Alternate Music Press, Indie Music Review and New Age Reporter. Timothy is currently working on his third CD with the working title, The Weight of Time.
