"Laser Love" started out as a soft-synth orgy made on the road last summer, but evolved into an analog love affair once I scored a Moog Little Phatty.  Swingin' Bass-Hop for your next interdimensional cocktail party.

"The rain drips off the roof... she is warm, and I like just lying there, talking to her softly."

Equally at home hanging from a tree branch or bouncing off concrete, Santa Cruz's Timonkey (Tim Donlou) fuses organic and synthetic elements together in order to bridge the worlds of nature and technology: "Branching patterns, mineral lattices, geological timescapes - the living earth is as much an influence on my music as King Tubby, Bernie Worrell, or Steve Reich ever were." From its roots in dub, funk and ambient music, Timonkey's sound has been evolving further into the synthetic realms of midtempo glitch. He crafts his tracks using a combination of found sounds, analog synths, live instruments, and software wizardry, all from under the shade of the ancient redwoods. Influenced by years of collaboration with the 13 Moontribe, Raindance, and Nexus crews, he brings a unique flavor to the West Coast underground. He has 7 releases out on SF's Muti Music so far: 2004's Mammals On the Brink, 2007's Cloud City EP, 2008's Cerulea, 2009's Infinite and Molecular Forest, 2010's Future Perfect, and 2011's Astral Traveler.
