artist.

blurb:

Very much a one-man-band, headed up by Peterborough boy, Tim Martin. For a musician working alone, Tim certainly knows how to kick out a tune or two; prolific would be an understatement (it took many painful months to piece together his 'Free-Time' album from 'Maps and Diagrams - Greatest Hits Vols 1 - 8').

Born in 1972, Tim spent most of his childhood whizzing round Nottingham on a bmx and listening to his friend's dad's collection of Kraftwerk, Talking Heads and punk records. While the guitar was always part of his musical plan, he found himself more inspired by the smoothness of electronically synthesised music, rather than the harshness of the guitar. A new found love affair with electro and hip hop then ensured that he never looked back. When Tim got his hands on a clapped out keyboard in the early nineties, he soon found the sounds he imagined when he was younger and his childhood memories came flooding back.

Tim's earlier works demonstrate a passion for the warmth of sound produced by analogue electronic equipment, however as time has progressed his musical process appears to have veered closer towards that of his robotically-gifted peers. Let's see where he goes next!
