A bootlegger/masher-upper/producer/sound engineer/musician/dj with a life long obsession with making sounds.
Born in 1981, TimG Started playing the piano at the age of 6 and the guitar at the age of 8, producing his first tracks on his fisherprice tape recorder. Started messing with computers not long after, making them play tunes.
Went on to study music at A-Level and Music Technology at degree level. On the way he played guitar in a number of rock/punk/grunge/ska bands..
Sometimes he makes crazy things with ultra-sonic sensors
He also does these things called 'bootlegs' that people seem to like a lot. If you watch MTV you might have seen some he's done (MTV Mash).... you may have heard some on the radio

...You might have seen him DJing in places like Manchester (Boom, Monster-monster) and Germany (International Bastard)... And producing music in a studio in Manchester (www.bunker7.co.uk)

"It takes a minute or so for a larger idea to emerge from this visual novelty concocted by mash-up wiz TimG, but once the chorus to QOTSA's "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret" kicks in, the proceedings swiftly morph into something resembling an old-fashioned scolding. Either that or it just looks cool to cut back and forth between a pop tart and some stoner rockers." - John Sakamoto on 'Toxic Secret', The Eye Weekly (Canada)

"JIMI HENDRIX VS. JAY-Z, 'Voodoo Problems': TiM G's exhilarating amalgamation draws such an unwavering line between the former's 'Voodoo Chile' and the latter's '99 Problems', you'll likely conclude that, had Hendrix lived, this is the kind of thing he'd be up to. One of the truly essential downloads of 2004." - John Sakamoto, The Eye Weekly (Canada)
