The album cover is white with text centered at the top that reads βTimothy Fairless, Keep Talking to Me, de6073.β The center features a photograph of magnetic audio tape in a large pile on the floor, the center juts up to an almost unnatural point and the edges are frayed out in all directions. It is lit from above so it looks like a spotlight is on it which makes the tape shimmer. The bottom feature the triangular Dragon's Eye Recordings logo.

Timothy Fairless stands in a pile of tangled video tape, wearing a teal suit with pink T-shirt against a watermelon-red backdrop. He looks down to his left where he holds a single strand of video tape.

"β¦an investigation of transformation. It illustrates how meaning changes through mediums of communication to take on interpretations that were likely unintended by the creator."

Artist Mark du Potiers wears his creation (called βMasterβ). This costume obscures his face with many strands of audio tape. He wears a white shirt. The background is a gradient of pinks and oranges.
Headphone Commute has the scoop on my video for βTullamarineβ.

Album cover depicting a monolith of tangled video tape on a dark grey concrete floor, lit by a spotlight.
Timothy Fairless hunches over a bamboo desk. He wears a teal jacket, and gently grips the front edge of the desk. The background is watermelon-pink.
My new album, ππππ₯ πππ‘π ππ£π π©π€ ππ, will be out on June 20 on @dragonseyerecordings.com. The album unravels the complexities of communication and examines the fragile interplay between language, technology, and understanding.

Album cover showing a circle of red strokes set on a dark blue background with light refractions.
Superposition is 2 years old today. Incidentally, right now this is my most recent solo release. Probably changing that soon. π
π₯ I composed the score for a feature film thatβs out now - Horizon One, or β1β in Australia. It stars Dan Ewing, and follows his characterβs quest for redemption while also being hunted by aliens. But much more importantly, itβs a parable for a planet sick with people, returning to a natural state.
Timothy Fairless sits on a teal chair, and rests his head on a bamboo desk with white legs. He grips the front on the desk gently and is staring straight at the camera. The background is bright watermelon-pink. The photo is framed by a lightened and desaturated version of the photograph, with record label Dragonβs Eye triangular logo at the bottom, the title βTimothy Fairlessβ at the top, βNew Artistβ on the left and β2025β on the right.
Iβm honored and thrilled to have joined the @dragonseyerecordings.com roster for a release this year. This is a label that champions values I care about through releasing music by incredibly diverse artists.

Sometimes wonder if I could give it up. But after giving up cigarettes (years ago) and sugar - whatβs left to enjoy?
I wonder the crossover between this and people who are compelled to absorb enormous quantities of caffeine within 30 minutes of waking? Iβm dead centre on that Venn diagram. But disrupt the flow of coffee and it all falls apart.
The uniquely intimate @glorspace.bsky.social in Nambour is running concurrent residency programs this year. At the first installment of Votive Offerings, ever-haunting Cloud Tangle will activate the space. Iβll be away, but Iβm sure you can (& should) go. events.humanitix.com/votive-offer...
Ghostwoods approached me to remix a song from their last album. I had no rules; just a generous but firm deadline. And the result is available now here: ghostwoods4000.bandcamp.com/album/neon-r...
I had a blast over Christmas and New Years doing a residency at GLOR Project Space in Nambour, that culminated in a showing of new sound work made entirely on the Sunshine Coast.
Person in black T-shirt holding a set of finger cymbals, lit by pink spotlights, foregrounded by an electronic keyboard.
30 years of composing, performing, and producing music has resulted in an expert ability to play finger cymbals for 10 consecutive minutes. Had a wonderful time performing Warring States for Mark du Potiersβ exhibition at BEMAC.
