Light and Shade

This track has different sides, a lighter and darker side. Optimism, unease and melancholy can be found in four different parts, coming together as in life... Light and Shade.
As always my music is centered around the guitar as main instrument, my trusted companion in expressing my moods and feelings. This time the electric guitar. Because it can howl, growl and weep.

I hope you will enjoy this music and as always I really enjoy your likes, comments and shares.

I was introduced to making music from age 4 or 5 when my dad took me to his band practice every week where I’d make the rounds “playing” drums, keyboards, an old upright piano, guitars and his ‘68 Fender P Bass (or 70’s MusicMan Stingray Bass). I owe a lot to the generosity and kindness of each of the band members. They were the catalyst that started me on my own musical path of discovery and creation that feeds my soul to this day. I continue to write, record, perform and cover the songs that move me (from the gypsy jazz era to present day), and I’m grateful for the chance to share it with others. Please check out my Instagram, amazingradio and YouTube pages for more, and my official debut EP “The Dakota EP” is streaming everywhere as well as for download on iTunes, Amazon and other sites as well! I appreciate any comments or feedback you may have to offer, if so moved. Thank you for listening,  -Tim 🙏🏻✌🏻

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016

I hope you will enjoy my music.
