Album cover made to look 3d with a shadow below and behind it sitting in a blue background. The album cover is white with text centered at the top that reads β€œTimothy Fairless, Keep Talking to Me, de6073.” The center features a photograph of magnetic audio tape in a large pile on the floor, the center juts up to an almost unnatural point and the edges are frayed out in all directions.  It is lit from above so it looks like a spotlight is on it which makes the tape shimmer. The bottom feature the triangular Dragon's Eye Recordings logo.

AMN Reviews: Timothy Fairless – Keep Talking to Me (2025; Dragon’s Eye Recordings) Australia’s Timothy Fairless uses a generative sound installation to create what is heard on Keep Talking to Me. This makes the album interesting in both a procedural and a substantive manner…

"…an investigation of transformation. It illustrates how meaning changes through mediums of communication to take on interpretations that were likely unintended by the creator."

πŸŽ₯ I composed the score for a feature film that’s out now - Horizon One, or β€œ1” in Australia. It stars Dan Ewing, and follows his character’s quest for redemption while also being hunted by aliens. But much more importantly, it’s a parable for a planet sick with people, returning to a natural state.

30 years of composing, performing, and producing music has resulted in an expert ability to play finger cymbals for 10 consecutive minutes. Had a wonderful time performing Warring States for Mark du Potiers’ exhibition at BEMAC.
