TIMBRE
Vocals, production, synths
The project's writer and producer. Builds nearly every sound from a voice or a breath before a single synth is touched.
The artist
TIMBRE is the recording project of a producer and singer who started uploading bedroom demos at four in the morning and never quite stopped. What began as a way to make sense of a sleepless year became a body of work about distance, memory, and the strange comfort of sending sound out into the dark and hoping it reaches someone.
The music sits between electronic and song — built from re-pitched voices, synthesised breath and drum machines run through old amps, but anchored, always, to a melody you can hum. The signature is an obsession with texture: with the grain of a sound, the timbre of it, the thing that makes one voice unmistakably itself.
Across a debut single, an EP and two albums, TIMBRE has grown from a few thousand late-night listeners into a touring act that fills theatres — without ever leaving the intimacy that made the first song land. The new album, Signal Fires, is the fullest realisation of that idea yet: a record meant to be heard loud, in the dark, with someone.

Long-time collaborator and co-producer since After-Image. Plays the live keys rig and shapes the records' harmonic world.

Bass, mixing
Mixes the records and holds down the low end on stage, where the album's synthesised sub-bass becomes a live instrument.

Strings, arrangements
Leads The Halden Quartet and arranges the string parts that thread through Signal Fires and the live show.
Press
A record that glows in the dark. Signal Fires is the rare electronic album with a heartbeat you can feel in your chest.
The Wire
TIMBRE has quietly become one of the most distinctive voices in modern synth-pop — intimate, enormous, and utterly their own.
Pitchfork
Live, it's overwhelming in the best way: the visuals breathe with the music until you can't tell where the sound ends and the light begins.
NME
Sound you can see, exactly as advertised. One of the shows of the year.
DIY Magazine
Few artists make distance feel this warm. Signal Fires is a long-distance call you never want to hang up.
