During many years spent as a recording artist in some of the world’s most renowned studios, including Abbey Road and Air Studios, Tim’s passion for the ‘other’ side of the microphone was well and truly sparked. Working with producers, engineers and record companies throughout his performing career, he has been able to tap in on their knowledge and expertise, and gain a comprehensive working knowledge of the recording process and the record producing business. His extensive experience in both the performance and music reproduction fields, makes him very unique within the classical music industry. Over the past thirty years he has built a strong reputation for producing high quality recordings with a friendly and compassionate approach to the music recording process. He is very proud to have contributed recordings to some of the worlds leading record companies which include Naxos, Sony BMG, Classic FM, Avie, Arabesque, Back Box, Quartz and Hyperion.

In 2012 (along with his wife violist Rachel Calaminus) Tim established his new vibrant contemporary ensemble Trifarious.

In 2018 the ensemble was awarded the position of ‘Artists in Residence’ at the University of Surrey. The ensemble released its first CD ‘Russian Roulette’ in 2015.
Projects for 2025 include performances of a Trifarious ‘lock-down’ project with composer Tom Armstrong and violist Rachel Calaminus. With tours scheduled for 2026, the project will comprise imaginative re-workings of music by composers such as Beethoven, Bach, Couperin and Gonzaga, presented with immersive video and lighting effects.
New recordings of music by Adam Gorb, Tom Armstrong, Steve Goss and Barbara Thompson are scheduled for release in 2026
