Timothy Goss

 
Timothy Goss

Intelligent lyrics wrapped in dripping wet melodies. Been descibed as music you've always wanted to hear but never had the chance to.

Underwater

A look at the beginnings of love--the place between where you think you're standing your ground and the realization that you're already knee deep.

Don't Say A Word

There is a power in simplicity and this one offers truth in that. This quiet little gem is, in my mind, a complete masterpiece.

Falling Down

To quote a bit of Shakespeare, "A life mended is but patched". The sutures split and the life drains from the wound. Once healed, the scar remains as a reminder of the pain. These are my scars. These are my thoughts, ideas, and wisdom I have gained along the way. The twisted raised surface of a life torn and mended and torn again. This is my collagen, my bandages, and all that lies beneath. It's been years since I have visited this page. I should be working to remedy that soon. The degree is in the bag--at least most of it--and the music can now resurface. Over the course of the next few months I will be going back to work on the Lethologica album. At this conjuncture, the tracks look like they'll be a lot more complete and complex (and possibly more eclectic) than the work I have done in the past. I am also hoping for a bit more congruence of sound--one of my biggest concerns with the last two albums. As the songs come together I will be uploading them for your perusal. Those of you who have been waiting for something new, I apologize for my absence. For the rest of you, I apologize for my return.
Band/artist history
Growing up musically in bands such as Florida's Gideon Daftgammon, North Carolina's Flyte, Half-a Whole, and Horspice the Persper, and Kansas' Sixteen Dollar Conversation and Aneity, Timothy Goss has worked with some amazing musicians and obviously payed attention. Now working as a solo artist, Goss is taking those lessons and creating a world all his own. His musical stylings have been described as "music [you] have always wanted to hear but never had a chance to". He embraces a strong sense of melody and grace and still manages to incorporate the odd. Timothy Goss is currently working on a new CD tentatively titled "Lethologica", which should be available shortly before the rapture.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I haven't played live for some time now. Quite honestly I'm not a great guitar player (more of a bass player of late) and I haven't had the time to put together a joint project with someone who is. I do play some parties from time to time on a completely casual basis but nothing that means a paycheck (or even deserves one). Hopefully I will be able to get out there a bit more through the upcoming summer but then you never know.
Your musical influences
Counting Crows ( especially the first album...) Crowded House and really everything Neil Finn has been a part of. Cutting Crew (another "C" band) their Broadcast album is just genius. Toad the Wet Sprocket, their "Fear" album is arguably the best album of all time and the solo work of their vocalist Glen Phillips is impressive. Lately I have been pretty impressed by Ben Folds and Sister Hazel. Thank God we've still got some great songwriters left. I also enjoy Type O Negative, Ani Difranco, Regina Spektor, Tool, Dream Academy, Train, Meriwether--an unsigned, disbanded band from San Francisco, and a huge list of other amazing people out there!
What equipment do you use?
I've really stripped down the fanfare as far as equipment. I play straight into the computer through a Behringer board and use an MXL large diaphragm mic. Instrumentation comes from a Hohner acoustic guitar and/or a Rogue five-string bass. I write and record using a Line 6 JM Looper and mix everything down in Magix Audio Studio 2005 Deluxe which I am still trying to decide if I actually like better that the cheap $30 one I was using before (through the first 17 songs). Any keyboard sounds you may or may not hear are from a cheep and sad little Casio keyboard processed until it sounds like it cost me more than twenty-five dollars at a garage sale. I figure if I need anything more than that to prove what a good songwriter I am than maybe I don't really write all that well. . . but I suppose that decision is all yours.
