paul st. hilaire & rhauder booking: ben@sushitech.com

born and raised in the north-west of germany 
rhauder was fascinated by music from an early age. 
the short distance to the dutch border enabled him 
to listen to all kinds of music since the netherlands 
had a much more  diverse radio program than 
germany in those days.
older friends introduced him to reggae, dub, 
hip-hop and early  industrial music to further 
shape his interest.
but it were tapes from frankfurt with 
clubnight-shows  held by sven väth that 
brought techno and house to his attention 
in the early 90s and suddenly everything 
fell into place.
these tapes made him start to dj electronic 
music and  also paved the way to buy the 
first pieces of equipment. 
after a 2 year stop in münster he decided 
to go to berlin where he lives and produces 
eversince.

Musical Journeys of Geo Seato, New Zealand based

Beyond the horizon, a sea mist dances across a silhouetted figure, cloaked by the forming shadows of dusk. The last rays of the day catch his silver staff, refracting rainbows of light that pierce the depths of the cosmos and dissolve into endless, unknown time. The calmness is serene yet an undeniable energy brews, slowly bubbling away; a pulsating frequency attracting only those in search of freedom and tranquility. 

He has traipsed this plane far and wide, travelling by land and water; across oceans, mountains and dunes; feet calloused and strong, wits sharp and intuition attuned. He carries an air of mystery, more intriguing and confronting with every breath.  

The moment arrives and he looks up, locking eyes with the spirits above. The heavenly harps and majestic mandolins of the cloud beings begin their enchanting melodies. The syncopated polyrhythms of the higher realms harmonise between his fingertips.

His facial expression remains unchanged, even as the subtleties in sensation begin to expand into a joyous ensemble of emotion, movement and beat. He breathes in, attention focused at the entrance of his nostrils, his glowing staff motioning forward. 

The light erupts, penetrating every nook and crevasse. Waves of exhilarating sound immediately follow; echoing through every dimension, vibrating with presence and prosperity, singing of both beginnings and of ends.

It is the sound of silent surrender,
Of starlight and solitude. 

It is the sound of Seijin.

Sacred Summit 
Micro Jaxon 
Swingtime Paradigm
alias projects of 
Timmus

A significance of my life, this project I created to express my vision of ambiance, soundscape, sound healing, sacred frequency, meditation and binaural beats. Building worlds nourished by enlightened perspective, relating & caressing universal elemental archives.

Souls welcomed deeply thoroughly abundantly to each part of my musical spectrum that be expressive connective musical projects.

Pitch Black are Michael Hodgson and Paddy Free. Having pumped their way through New Zealand’s electronic music scene since their inaugural performance at the annual Gathering New Year's eve festival in 1996, they have spent the subsequent years rousing dance floor punters, generating rave reviews, winning awards and gaining thousands of fans across the world. 

Hard to box into a single audio 'genre', Pitch Black is a combination of musical journeys. Their sound is distinctive; ranging from organic ambient beginnings and layered soundscapes to skanking keyboards, cutting acid riffs and thumping rhythmic grooves, with dub being the glue that holds their sound together. One critic has described them as like "Orbital meets King Tubby, or Rhythm and Sound in Technicolor". 

It is their live show that really makes Pitch Black stand out from the rest of the crowd, both sonically and visually. Their tracks take on an added dynamism and their performances reveal the dialectic behind the band - Paddy wants to do it for the crowd, Michael wants to do it to the crowd. Visually they are in another dimension thanks to Michael's cutting edge visuals.

They have toured the world relentlessly, playing everywhere from Amsterdam to Zagreb and the streets of Las Vegas to the Australian outback, supporting acts such as Coldcut, Skream, Easy Dub All Stars and System 7 along the way.

From the lush, green embrace of the Dandenong Ranges, emerges Timmus, a sonic architect mapping the uncharted territories of sound. His name, a subtle reversal of "summit," hints at a collective climb, a voyage into the heart of vibration. "Music is the air in every breath," he declares, a testament to a life lived in resonant harmony.

As the owner and director of the Australian label Smash Bang Records, Timmus is a prolific artist with a diverse range of sonic explorations. He crafts and performs under various aliases, each a unique facet of his artistic vision: Sacred Summit, Micro Jaxon, Swingtime Paradigm, and Psymus Drummit. He also lends his rhythmic prowess as the hybrid drummer for The Oddness & Band.

These projects, along with his solo work, showcase his ability to seamlessly blend genres and push the boundaries of sonic exploration.
He is a weaver of sound, a collector of auditory fragments, a builder of sonic sanctuaries. From the tender age of four, nestled in the quiet of rural Victoria, he crafted instruments and captured sonic impressions on cassette. By twelve, he was sculpting sonic landscapes with digital tools, foreshadowing his future as a master of auditory alchemy.

Timmus is a prism, refracting sound into a spectrum of artistic expressions. His DJ sets are not mere performances but immersive journeys, blurring the lines between genres, inviting listeners to transcend the ordinary. He is a sonic archaeologist, unearthing the hidden frequencies of the world. Field recordings, tribal rhythms, minimalist whispers, and sacred harmonies merge into a tapestry of sound. He crafts instruments from the remnants of the everyday, coaxing forgotten melodies from discarded objects. His vision: a "universal gathering of beings and cultures," a symphony of micro-sounds that heal and unite.

In the tranquil haven of Artimmus / Creative Concepts & Studio Recording, nestled amidst the whispering trees of the Dandenong Ranges, Timmus extends his artistry to others. He offers a sanctuary for creative souls, a space where the intangible becomes real. He captures the essence of sound, from the raw energy of a live performance to the subtle nuances of a spoken word. He crafts sonic healing journeys and collaborates with artists to bring their visions to life.

Having released his music on labels across the globe and remixed prominent artists, Timmus has performed at festivals worldwide, his performances leaving trails of sonic stardust.
Timmus invites you to join him on his climb, a journey into the heart of sound, a quest for the peak of sonic consciousness.
