about

It's all too easy for an artist to get pigeonholed. Especially one trading in electronic music. Despite the myriad of possibilities open to musicians courtesy of modern technology, the dictionary worth of various sub genres means that it's only a matter of time before some know-it-all consigns particular artists to a certain category. Enter Tim Wright, the York based multi-genre-ist who can skip from style to style with apparent ease, fusing sounds and styles that apparently seem totally incompatible. Never afraid to take the mix and match approach, Wright's musical magpie act comes to fruition on April 26th 2004 with the release of his debut album for novamute, Thirst. Tim Wright's ascent from bedroom enthusiast to acclaimed artist was, as you'd probably expect, far from conventional. An early musical tutoring courtesy of his parents classic pop collection (Pet Sounds, Revolver, Tubular Bells) soon gave way to a far more exploratory sense of adventure as Wright began unearthing gems from the outer reaches of the musical stratosphere. By his teenage years the likes of Captain Beefheart, The Fall, Psychic TV and Test Department ruled in his musical world. Enhanced by his classical leanings it was always safe to assume that he would tend towards the extreme. By the time he started his Physics degree at Manchester University in 1988 the confrontational and overtly political howl of the anarcho Crass / Conflict axis and the genre busting fusion of dub rhythms and punk attitude
