Timothy Allan is an independent Canadian electronic musician and producer currently residing in Melbourne, Australia. Integrating numerous musical influences including, but not limited to, techno, house, funk, progressive, trance, and downtempo, Allan’s music borrows from a variety of genres and explores the boundaries of contemporary electronic formats.

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 his 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. He will continue to pursue his career with a deeper dedication and focus. He is striving to release a second album in 2005.
