Tim is a musician, currently living in Hamburg. His music career started as a listener and partygoer. In 2007 he created the TimTainment and started sequencing music.

Obscure Robot: Do you define yourself more by your music or your day job?
TimTainment: I define myself more by my music - that´s my main-work.
Obscure Robot: Does your other work ever influence your music, or how you think about music?
TimTainment: Oh yes - my work as a gardener has got a lot of influence to my music. There are so many sounds in the nature...they give me a lot of inspiration!
Music is everywhere if you really listen and it is a universal language too - that is what I think about music

Building Your Own Binaural Microphones - Silent Strangers, Part Two of Two
Silent Strangers is a musician who’s work has been published on the IDMf netlabel. His interview has been split into two installments.
Obscure Robot: Tell me about a particularly challenging track. What was difficult, how did you resolve that difficulty?
Silent Strangers: There is one on Anagram2:Ire that comes to mind. Its called Parallel Being. Difficult to get the loop phasing working right. I have a compound time signature of 13/4+6/4+9/4 for my main drum track. Keeping the rhythm tight enough to keep attention, and making it sit right with a 4/4 bassline was the challenge. In the first version(s) the drum track had a compound of 13/4+5/4+/9/4. Changing it to 6/4 allowed me to work with even number that phased easier with the 4/4 bassline. If I kept it 5/4, the compound would have been 27/4 versus the 4/4 bass. The bassline would have sync'd up perfectly, every 26 bars. And the bassline needs to be tighter in that track, you’ll hear it soon ;)
