About Timothy Allan:
Allan first discovered electronic music in the mid 1980's after hearing songs composed in the almost extinct method of computer 'tracking'. Discovering the underground, pre-Internet BBS scene that traded and created these files would prove to be instrumental in furthering Allan's creative development. Initially using computer and software technologies to create compositions, Allan eventually felt limited by the restrictions of the medium and began to explore other avenues of production.
In 2002, with the acquisition of a synthesizer workstation, studio monitors, a four-track recorder, and a small drum machine, Allan began to write using physical instrumentation rather than computer-generated sound. He continues to explore and extend the boundaries of this medium and works to produce music from his private studio.
After moving to Australia in 2004, he merged his hardware with software in order to take advantage of the unique benefits that each have to offer. Now, with the convergence of the two technologies, he has found a musical vehicle that is truly limited only by imagination.
Timothy Allan is currently approaching his music with more serious intent as it is proving to receive positive attention from critics and consumers alike.

Future Music reviews my Housematic Sample CD in the Winter edition - 8/10 "...there's plenty to be getting on with in one of the most varied collections that we've come across in this genre" and "...material that should appeal to a broad spectrum of house lovers." Housematic was reviewed in
Sound on Sound, as well as the Dutch music mag
Interface! Interface even included samples from it on their cover CD so thanks to all the guys over there.
Computer Music Magazine reviews my Housematic CD! - 8/10 "Containing a wide selection of loops, single hits and multis, this one is designed for hard house producers. Each folder within the kits section is named according to the tempo of its loops, which range from 126bpm to 136bpm. These offer various combination of drum voicing: kick and hats; snare and hats; kick and snare. Youll also find melodic bass, synth and vocal loops, and the multisampled instruments include basses, electric pianos and a house organ. The content is very will produced and should provide plenty of ammunition for even the most prolific producer."
