Alrighty as we did last week we will continue to explore an immersive, calming and reflective world of music that creates an atmosphere which settles oneself as well as touching something deep or mysterious within us. Our vehicle for this exploration is a collection of soothing, environmental and at times melancholy folk frequencies and melodies from the British Isles and the vast landscapes of the United States. Lovely to have you along for this journey.

Alrighty, it’s all about the folk tonight, folks, where we will journey around the British Isles and the vast landscapes of USA, immersing ourselves in the golden period of the 60s and 70s folk revival - a musical world that we hold dearly here at Do Your Thing. Some stops will also include tracks with some psyche, garagey and American Primitive guitar flavourings. Should be a nice journey. Nice to have you along to share the experience.

This show is a tribute and celebration of beloved American singer/songwriter John Prine who sadly passed away in Tennessee on 7th April 2020 due to complications caused by COVID-19. He will be greatly missed. We love John here at Do Your Thing and have played many of his songs since starting the show back in May 2019. 

As NPR journalist Annie Zaleski said in a recent article. “John Prine was a wry and perceptive writer whose country and folk songs often resembled vivid short stories.” John had this great knack for observing everyday events and interpreting them into songs that many could relate to. Lyrics are filled with familiar details, observations and witty musings.

His songs can make you laugh, make you think and pull the old heartstrings from time to time - occasionally all in the space of one song. 

Bob Dylan once said “Prine's stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mindtrips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs.” Thanks Bob.

Over the next hour, we will take a journey back through John’s extensive catalogue, starting in the early 1970s and working our way through the decades.

Joining me on 3MDR 97.1 Regroovanate with Timmus    
Tomorrow from 3-5pm for a very special Festivus edition of the show is none other than Australian electronic musics finest & most consistent selectors.
:::: Tahl :::: 
The pristine pearly white gates have opened for us this Festivus & blessed the mountain district a visit from one of its own, 
This man has had thousands of tooshies shakin', thousands of dance floors, over thousands of kilometres on our home soil in the past two decades. 
At times I thought there must have been multiple identical Tahl's cos the man has been up there with one of the industries sought after cats in our home city. 
As of late he has been teaming up with Augie Aug Augmented doing something incredible things beefier than a bull... Has actually made me question my masculinity and have to quickly have a look & double check at times when these guys are moving a dance floor together, it's pretty unreal. 
Tahl has known me since I first started sneaking in to go and play beats in venues when I was 16-17 years old. 
He has been one of the most loving, dedicated passionate friends without fail over the years, just thinking about this legendary bastard makes me emotional in the best way possible. 
A beautiful man, with a beautiful heart, knows it, speaks it, plays it, like a beautiful piece of art. That it. 
That's the one... It... Is. That. & Is.
Hope you can tune in! 
Love Timmus

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.
