Biography

Timothy Trespas has been writing, performing, recording, mixing and producing music under the name 'CREATIVE CHAOS inc...' for well over 20 years.
Tim started his musical career as a teenager after purchasing a $20 2nd-hand Sears guitar from a schoolmate, and began recording his songs back-and-forth between the speaker and microphone of two monophonic cassette recorders. Always seeking a higher-quality solution, he went on over the years to design, own, and operate a multi-track recording and production studio.
Always taking everything apart, he wanted to see how it all worked. When it came time to put it back together, he found he was always left with a few extra screws(Where do these go?). With an insatiable appetite for technology, and an incorrigible creative bent, timothy found music was a fantastic outlet for his emotional experience. Having undiagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder kept Tim running about from thing to thing to thing, never quite finishing anything to his satisfaction. After years of psychotherapy that did little to ease his angst or cure his ennui, creating music was the perfect way to release his pent-up emotions!
Throughout his career, Timothy has worked in several world-class studios, including Chunk King in New York City. He has worked as an assistant engineer, Mixing & Recording Engineer, and an Electronics Technician. He has done live-sound for many bands in many venues. He has worked on music, sound effects and soundtracks for film and video, as well as spots for radio and Television.
Timothy's client list includes artists such as Run DMC, Danzig, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Sarah Lee, The Real Roxanne, The Wise-Guys (ILL and Tron), John Hall (from King Missile), IBU (Ian Nichols, Chello & Dougie Needles), Nick Selby, Nicky D, Muffler (Daryl & Duane Simmons who produce LL Cool J and others), Sweet Lizard Illtet, All About Chad, The Flesh Woundz, and D.J.LOOP-DADDY, among many others, whom he has worked with/for in varied capacities over the years.
Tim is comfortable and competent working in many musical styles, and has recorded and worked with bands playing Jazz, Rock, Country, Punk, Funk, Pop, Gospel, Avant-Garde, Hip-Hop, Dance, Trance and Techno. He was once a member of the short-lived live-music sensation LIARS & THIEVES, a small band that did local gigs in NYC and Brooklyn.
Timothy went to The Institute of Audio Research in NYC, but because he is an intuitive autodidact, Timothy is mostly self-taught.
Timothy considers himself an accomplished musician/singer/songwriter, and has worked tirelessly to perfect his craft.
Currently he has well over 150 songs to his credit!
He plays the guitar, Bass, keyboards, synthesizer and sampler, percussion (drums, etc) and sings, as well as making sounds on violin, clarinet, and any other instrument he can get his hands on (although it may be considered nothing more than noise to some!)
He has experience as a sound designer and is capable of working with all MIDI sequencers, samplers, and analog and digital sound modules to create here-to-fore unheard-of new sounds. He specializes in ultra-low bass-drum beats and funky polyrhythmic bass and percussive sounds. He designs and programs sample-loops and creates new sounds for use in his music and soundtracks. He has been seen lurking about strange areas of the city and country-side at all hours of the day and night with a recorder in an effort to capture live ambient noises and sounds, and strives to create that 'perfect' sound for his (or your) next project.
As an ASCAP member, Timothy is now working to get his music heard by the listening public, as well as actively looking to get himself signed by an independent or major label. (Feel free to contact him!)
Timothy's music has always been difficult to categorize, and some of his closer friends have taken to calling it "Tim-music", although he prefers to call it "Creative Chaos" - in a reference to scientific Chaos-Theory, and in reference to his natural ability to 'create' something listen-able from the chaos of the universe.
Presently, Timothy is continuing his work out of his small home studio he shares his partner and love Petra Schiller in Hells' Kitchen, NYC.
