An important part of Tim's work is to teach the healing effects of sound. Many years ago, Tim suffered a dehibilitating condition that led to severe paralysis. Time after time, treatments and remedies failed to return him to a state of physical and mental balance. Hence, it was during this time of a long and painful rehabilitation that Tim made the ultimate discovery that through simple vibration it is possible to effect deep healing on a mind, body and soul level. He discovered that the easiest way to create vibrational sound was through his voice, and although he had always been told that he could not sing, Tim began to use his voice to hum and chant. By creating some simple vocal exercises Tim quite quickly began to experience a positive change in his physical and mental wellbeing; he discovered that by exercising the voice it created a complete change on a cellular level that brought about his miraculous recovery within days. Over the years, his original recordings have been used globally by leading therapists, healers, thinkers and communicators to transmit a message of powerful good vibrations. His back catalogue includes more than a dozen best selling and award winning CDs. Stylistically, it is possible to trace the evolution of his technique through different albums, however, one thread unites them all; the sensitive use of real organic sounds, both his virtuostic, masterful flute playing and, in latter years, his highly acclaimed voice. Tim believes that we are beings on a precious life journey of discovery of ourselves, our surroundings and our fellow beings. Through experience, he has learned to teach transmutation of fear and negativity into a positive message of peace and inner and outer love. Read more on Last.fm.
