Combining acoustic and electronic instruments, Montreal-based artist and producer Tim Rideout weaves hypnotic ambience, funky groove, intelligence and humour into lush soundscapes, poppy hooks and electro-acoustic ear candy.
With multiple slick-sounding, self-produced CDs to his credit, Tim’s command of the “schooled musician Musician not to be confused with “drummer” and sometimes “trombonist”; lowest member of the “entertainment industry” hierarchy; poor, starving, sometimes homeless person, often with meth or heroin addiction; hearing-impaired and sometimes tone deaf; has cool clothes and can sleep with nearly any woman who sees him onstage, even if he can’t play very well; if schooled institutionally, may go on to become unsuccessful at teaching and eventually commit suicide; DJ who can’t scratch ” ethos, fused with technologist and new media sensibilities results in music that speaks to instrumentalists and DJs alike.
Critically acclaimed by media, completely geeked-out audiophiles and Tim’s mom, fans far and wide are diggin’ Rideout’s fine, filmic and funky tracks.
The tracks morphed mysteriously into this awesome hybrid of TJ Hooker gaiety, Nacho Libre stupour and 70s porn.
