About Tim Exile
Tim Shaw, alias Tim Exile, a commencé la musique avec le violon, instrument difficile s'il en est... pour sortir son premier EP de drum & bass en 1999.
La musique pour mister Tim n'est pas que brute, elle est un travail de théorisation quasi philosophique (il a d'ailleurs passé un diplôme dans cette matière à l'université de Durham) associé à une réflexion technique, technologique.
Tim Exile a en effet construit ses propres fantasmes de machines, lassé des possibilités des instruments de DJ-ing classique.
A classically trained violinist, Tim Shaw began experimenting with electronic music aged 12, and gained his first drum and bass release in 1999. In the following years he released mostly for the legendary Moving Shadow imprint, and John B's Beta Recordings, having met John B at Durham University. After the completion of his philosophy degree, he went on to study an MA in electroacoustic composition at Durham. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his drum and bass grew increasingly experimental, and his debut LP (Pro Agonist, 2005) was released by Mike Paradinas' Planet Mu label, more commonly associated with the IDM scene.
Unsatisfied with the possibilities of conventional DJing, Exile programmed his own performance tools (at first using Pure Data and running into difficulties, he then switched to Reaktor) to allow improvisational live sets, which led to official work for Native Instruments.
