Do you like bar-star dance music?
How about mainstream MTV'ish electronic music?
Cheezy euro trance?
Yeah?! Go look somewhere else.
What you WILL find here is good old-fashioned electronic music. Most of my tracks take leads from genres like trance / house / downtempo jazz / funk disco porn. Other tunes of mine are a little more experimental/ambient.
"Melodic, beat driven electronic songs that soothe your mind, and rock your body. It's like being a fat man at an all you can eat digital music buffet."
Timothy Allan is an independent electronic musician and producer currently residing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Integrating numerous musical influences including, but not limited to, techno, house, progressive, trance, and ambient, Allan’s music borrows from a variety of genres and explores the boundaries of contemporary electronic formats.
Allan first discovered electronic music in the mid 1980’s after hearing songs composed in the almost extinct method of computer ‘tracking’. Discovering the underground, pre-Internet BBS scene that traded and created these files would prove to be instrumental in furthering Allan’s creative development. Initially using computer and software technologies to create compositions, Allan eventually felt limited by the restrictions of the medium and began to explore other avenues of production.
In 2002, with the acquisition of a synthesizer workstation, studio monitors, a four-track recorder, and a small drum machine, Allan began to write using physical instrumentation rather than computer-generated sound. He continues to explore – and extend – the boundaries of his medium and works to produce music from his private studio.
With the completion of his first album, Departure Gate (2003), Allan has achieved one of his personal goals. Handling all aspects of production – from creation to final mastering to artwork design – Departure Gate is Allan’s first entry into the full-stage professional development of his music. A seamless seventy-four minute CD, Departure Gate contains fourteen re-mastered and re-mixed singles.
