This 10-track effort (made up of super jazz drummer Ari Hoenig, guitarist/composer Tim Motzer, saxophonist Chris Cuzme, and bassist Ben Bocardo) is an all-instrumental excursion into the disparate corners of all that simmers and swings, from acid jazz to improv, from drum'n'bass to funk.

The playing in dizzyingly intricate throughout.

A visceral, experimental delta-jazz-noise-improv-and featuring Doug Hirlinger on drums,
flute, mbira, and percussion. Barry Meehan on bass, and Tim Motzer on baritone and electric guitars, pedals, and loops. fans

An unplanned spontaneous session recorded in a day in November 2007, Base3 evokes the spirits of Marc Ribot and Derek Bailey in an explosive trio format.

Long out of print, this edition is the ten year anniversary re-issue on 1k recordings.

'Butterflies, Zebras & Moonbeams' is an unpredictable and playfully ambitious double album from the trio of Tim Motzer (Nine Horses, Ursula Rucker), Eliie Perez and Barry Meehan, which inventively combines elements of Jazz, Ambient, Trip-Hop, Psychedelic Folk and Bossa-Nova in sensitive and unexpected ways.

'A masterpiece that sets up us nicely for the third coming of Portishead later this year. The new-jazz lizard lounge sound.' - Straight No Chaser

Tilomo is the brainchild of ace Philadelphia-based producer/guitarist Tim Motzer (Nine Horses, Ursula Rucker).

After his more experimental excursions with Burnt Friedman and Jaki Liebzeit (Can), and his powerful groove-orientated work with King Britt and Ursula Rucker, Tilomo is Tim's first venture into Chill-out/Ambient territory and displays his typically uncompromising and inspired touch.

10 soundtracks, each a world in its own. A seductive soundwomb of soft electronics and fresh ideas.

Conceived by producers, Tim Motzer (Nine Horses/Ursula Rucker) and Enrico Marani, Secret Voices combines epic compositions, potent improvisations and mesmeric wordplay from a unique collective of poets and musicians.

An ambitious collision of ambient, dub, classical, free jazz, and electronics, laced with Motzer's trademark guitar feedback and loops, Secret Voices also features the sublime poetry of Ursula Rucker (4 Hero), Rich Medina, Elliott Levin, Kalaf Angelo and Adriano Englebrecht.

Musicians Barry Meehan, Jeremy Carlstedt and Gloria Justen all make powerful contributions to Motzer and Marani's compelling and culturally eclectic dark cinematic vision.
