	Complex Silence 3 [tmth062] - JMMIII The third entry to the "Complex Silence" series comes courtesy of JMMIII (aka Jon 7). This time complex silence is formed out a field recording made on bicycle while touring around the industrail areas of west Eugene, where JMMIII lives. On any given day, metal fabrication shops and lumber mills can be heard dancing their menacing mechanical ballet, which is as much a joy to watch as to listen to. "Lumbering Drone" takes the sounds of this environment, and through lengthening and processing, cre... Downloads: 2,138 Average rating: (1 review)
	Complex Silence 2 [tmth05A] - Tange With Complex Silence 2, Time Theory and Tange continue the Series with a truly beautiful set of long-form tracks that explore farther into the realms of enigmatic and abstract ambience. This contribution by Tange is a perfectly suited voyage into harmonic and dissonant mystery with a sublime mix of Tibetan bowls (Part 1) and Buddha Machine samples (Part 2). And, of course, both tracks feature the Tange trademark drones and washes that transport the listener into deeply satisfying layers of pure ... Downloads: 2,693 Average rating: (0 review)
	Disambiguation [tmth004] - Rose Red/Upheaval Rose Red and Upheaval, the husband and wife duo that comprise Turmoil, as well as running the Amduscias Records netlabel, make their Timetheory debut with this split release, "Disambiguation". Never ones to shy away from dark and disturbing themes, they have provided 3 tracks each that reflect their respective influences and life experiences. Rose Red's tracks "Sinking" (featured on the "We Are Timetheory" artist compilation), "Shock Therapy" and "Neurotic Inner Self" use gentler dark ambient so...

	Crystal Field Theory [tmth00F] - JMMIII Jon 7, once again thinly veiled by his initials (JMMIII) was turning to Wikipedia and the periodic table for inspiration when he stumbled across an entry on crystal field theory, and the lightbulb switched on. The tracks reflect an attempt to think molecularly, and though no actually understanding of crystal field theory can be claimed, the tracks still convey a pretty good sense of what the view might be like on an atomic level...

	Inauguration [tmth-010] - President Blair This second Time Theory release from President Blair explores his style of noise in a different manner than usual. the sounds on this release are (untypically for music in the noise genre) entirely digital in source and construction. No tapes were harmed in the making of this recording. It was however recorded in one take using a variety of small apps running at once. Future PB recordings wil likely oscillate between this digital style and the previous lo-fidelity tape-manipulated style. Downloads: 579
	Zeno Effect [tmth065] - Fosel Our latest new artist, Fosel, lives and records his music in the southwestern desert of new Mexico. His second release for Time Theory is this one, "Zeno Effect". Another release heavy on the science, "Zeno Effect"'s three long, droning tracks explore the the sounds that could accompany the realm of particle physics. You may be able to listen to these tracks, but it can be proved that you will never finish them... Downloads: 511
	Time Distortion [tmth-00E] - Terra Engine "Time Distortion" collection of subtle and radical remixes of material from Jon 7's "Time" album (http://www.archive.org/details/tmth013). All tracks were utilized in one form or another, except for the closing track "Newfoundland time". Due to the nature of the recordings (which often feature intricate and subtle elements) and low bass frequencies, optimal results can be achieved by downloading the songs (rather than listening to them through the player) and wearing headphones...

	Khvarenah [tmth018] - Terra Engine The second full-length album from Terra Engine, this album is a powerful expansion of the themes initially explored in "Power Ambience" (released through Amduscias Records -- http://www.archive.org/details/AMR112). Featuring the almost overwhelming electro-drone now known as 'power ambience', the music also ventures deep into the realm of experimental industrial soundscapes, harrowing dark ambient passages, menacing bass pulsations and avant-garde electronica...

	KemoKlen [tmth060] - KemoKlen Enter into a space of dark, almost magickal ambient with this release by Joel Kinsberger aka KemoKlen. These three long dark tracks will no doubt take you through a journey the feels like it smells of ritual. The tracks titles are evocative of some kind of ritualistic process. It is possible they may mean nothing of the sort, but as they progress one can almost smell the burning of dripping wax and fat, a torch led down a long hallway, the dim illumination of an ancient darkened and windswept pl...

	Complex Silence 4 [tmth06A] - mysterybear For Complex Silence 4, mysterybear (Dave Seidel) provides a decidedly abstract, yet sublime exploration of the Golden Ratio with two long-form tracks. He describes the creative process: "Both tracks use intervals and waveforms derived from the Golden Ratio. I usually compose in just intonation, which is based on rational numbers (whole number ratios). The golden ratio, by contrast, is an irrational number... Downloads: 684 Average rating: (1 review)
	Krebs Cycles [tmth-00F] - JMMIII Some time ago, artist K.M. Krebs created two splendid release on the Treetrunk label entitld "The Jade Furnace I" and "The Jade Furnace II", both collections of short ambient/exploratory tracks, each with evocative and mysterious sounding titles. Artists were encouraged to rework and manipulate these tracks in different ways, to loop and listen in various combinations. Permission was granted to release such results, and after some time gathering digital dust, these reworkings by JMMIII (whom we ... Downloads: 804 Average rating: (0 review)
	Right/Wrong [tmth05B] - Julien Skrobek "Right/Wrong" is a suite of compositions continuing the musique concrete style we have come to enjoy and expect from Parisian teacher Julien Skrobek. The same kind of slowly developing sound as we heard in "Plage Concrete" is in evidence here, but there is more development, more eventfulness present in these tracks. As usual, patience is required to get the full understanding of thr role each sound plays in each scene, but it's patience that is very well rewarded... Keywords: musique concrete Downloads: 953
	Gammatria [tmth064] - John Mason John Mason is, as you might expect, a close relative of Jon 7 and JMMIII. Jon 7 has a contentious colleague (interactions with whom he still values highly) who had offered him a release of "Guitar Music" for Time Theory. The offer was rescinded though due to Jon 7's failure to respond immediately. "Guitar Music" was instead offered to a Dutch label, and promptly was never brought up again (though it may have done well where it landed... Downloads: 595 Average rating: (1 review)
	Glass Tainted Stain [tmth067] - Controlled Dissonance Light, ever the symbol of that which is good and wholesome; purveying, with stalwart benevolence, a sense of comfort, familiarity and serenity, twists upon itself revealing unforeseen depths of perversion and depravity when filtered through the tainted stain of glass. Controlled Dissonance is John Ingram (the musician, not to be confused with the Jesuit martyr or the CEO of Ingram Industries), and the moniker aptly describes the musical approach of “Glass Tainted Stain”...

	Holy Mountain [tmth-00D] - JMMIII "Holy Mountain" is the second part of three releases of remixed versions of the "Time" album by Jon 7. On this release, the track "Mountain Time" has been stretched and reworked by JMMIII (whoever he is). The sharp angular sounds and buzzes have been softened and rounded and many of the smaller shorter sounds have been given more room on the stage. "Time" [tmth013] has been one the most weel liked releases on Timetheory... Downloads: 1,996 Average rating: (0 review)
	Tres [tmth05E] - Fosel "Tres", the Time Theory debut from Fosel, is a remarkable piece of work, especially for those who appreciate the albums by Restive on TT. Ostentibly ambient, the tracks on "Tres" have a sparkling crystalline quality, but also incorporate deep rumbles and disquieting elements that never let the listener relax entirely. It's an effective combination of the sort Time Theory thrives on. Other albums from Fosel are available on Time Theory and other netlabels... Downloads: 878
	Rated MPG [tmth00C] - SCP SCP is one of the many projects created by Ben Kelly (aka Instant, who released music on the Jon7.net Microlabel) and "Rated MPG" is a short taster for what will hopefully be more releases on Timetheory. Ben's sound is often raucous and anarchistic, and this release highlights that style. Cut-up, chaotic, even pornographic in parts, these tracks shake up the norm in a way that we find very pleasing... Downloads: 904 Average rating: (0 review)
	The Vindictive Patent Vol. 1 [tmth05F] - Golgotha Communications Ltd Golgotha Communications Ltd reported to TTHQ that they had been remastering old material and wanted for it to see the light of day. As they described it, these tracks are some of the only survivors of an extensive period of recording. As usual, the evocative titles tell a story of times and places both existent and non-existent. We feel that this release in particular has the feel of a book rather than a movie (something a bit like "Cowyboy Feng's Space Bar and Grille")... Downloads: 827
	The White Nothing [tmth061] - Reality Switch "Music for Spaceports"? Perhaps so! Our friend Tom from Germany sent us this suite of slow, ambient piano tracks, which arrived at perhaps the most nerve-racking period TTHQ had ever experienced. What a joy it was to listen to these tracks and simply..slow..down... When life seems too much and peace seems impossible to find, how often it is that we are simply going too fast, driving ourselves too hard, and never letting ourselves take even the breath we need to live...

	Elementals [tmth008] - Justin Robert Recently, we got an email from Justin Robert, head of the Lunar Flower netlabel, who had discovered Jon7.net Microlabel from another website. He offered his latest recording to jon7.net, but we directed him here instead. "Elementals" is an intriguing recording, full of slowly mutating loops and sounds. In the 'notes' section below, you will find the information about how "Elementals" was recorded. Give a listen and let the sounds speak for themselves, while we await the shipment of new music-rel...

	The Aviary [tmth05D] - Textbeak Somewhere, deep in the hardly-fashionable part of Cleveland, is a dance club known only to those who dare to dance on the very edge. Kown affectionately to some as the "Purgatory Garage", it's actual name is "The Aviary", formerly a chicken processing plant. At The Aviary, The DJ's spin every kind of homemade and hand modified tracks they can muster, and weekend after weekend, revelers from across the city gather to let their hair down and freak to beats that can't be found anywhere else...

	We Are Timetheory [tmth001] - V/A It's 2008, and the brainchild of Jon7.net Microlabel head honcho Jon 7 has come to life in the form of a new netlabel, Timetheory Recordings. This introductory compilation showcases artists and tracks that will come to define the Timetheory sound and aesthetic. Artists who had come to be a major part of the Jon7.net sound art family comprise much of the current roster, and along the way new artists have been discovered and have chosen to be part of the Timetheory posse...

	Light [tmth002] - Impset Impset (aka Christophe Cabanie) was the creative force behind "Tinram LR" an ambient IDM release on Jon7.net Microlabel in 2007. He returned later with this set of 4 tracks that continue the sonic themes explored in that album. The feel is still ambient, but much darker and moodier than "Tinram LR", but still maintain the dubbed-and-delayed qualities that have made his tracks so enjoyable to listen to...

	M1409 Captured Borbs and Intercepted Transmissions from Possible Futures [tmth009] - Restive We were fortunate enough to stumble across the music of Restive in the Open Source Audio section of the archive, and immediately became fascinated with the sounds and approach used by the artist. After some contact on Myspace, we were pleased to find the music of Restive amenable to being rereleased on Timetheory, and of his many sonic space journals, #14 was selected to be presented here. Little can be said about the music on "Captured Borbs..." that is not made amply clear by the evocative tit...

	Grey Gray [tmth05C] - Instant In response to the call for compositions/albums on the theme of "color", inspired by Jon 7's spring-term color thoery class, Ben Kelley (aka Instant) was first to come to the fore. "Grey Gray" may be based on hexadecimal variants of grey, but the tracks are anything but. These tracks bristle with movement and action and color, the only thing black-and-white about them is the feeling one gets while listening that bears a resemblance to programs watched late at night on an old television...

	Can of Drone [tmth051] - mystified As a result of the restructuring of the Jon7.net Microlabel catalogue, another gem from the not-too-distant past has been transferred to Time Theory. This one comes from mystified's memorable domestic field recording period, and in celebration of its update three new remixes have been added courtesy of the Time Theory auxiliary remix squad. New artwork has been created for this new version, which is leaner and starker... Downloads: 1,057 Average rating: (0 review)
	Variable [tmth00B] - Carpenter John With a wink and a chuckle, Carpenter John (a moniker based on Jon 7's occasional profession) presents a gentle in-joke amongst his netlabel friends. Despite its play on words, "Variable" is a nice piece of music in its own right. The emphasis is more ambient pads, and there's a clean, open sound to it, and while it floats long like a drone piece there are evolving melodies throughout it. Interestingly, there aren't any plans to make "Variable" a series, it was just an enjoyable diversion, but yo... Downloads: 973 Average rating: (0 review)
	Collaboration [tmth00D] - Jon 7 + Hobby Knife In the summer of 2007, Jon 7 stopped by to visit Marilyn Kent (Hobby Knife) who lived close by to where he was staying at the time, and the two got along very well and agreed to collaborate on a little noise/sound jam the week after. Jon 7 was experimenting with shortwave radio distortion and field recordings (in a style that was later to become part of the style and material used for the President Blair project) and Marilyn was using numerous electronic children's toys and keyboards and effects...

	Time [tmth013] - Jon 7 After an extended break in recording, label head Jon 7 presents his first full release for Timetheory, an expansive, double-CD contribution to the "Time" series. Each track on "Time" was inspired by a time zone on the North American continent, and the mood of each piece tries in some way to capture some quality, real or imagined, of the geographical areas in each zone. An overall calm and tranquil feeling runs through this release, designed to be just as useful for relaxing the mind as for watch...

	Alternate Universes [tmth00E] - JMMIII "Alternate Universes" a fairly short and simple release, is a collection of experiemnts in the use of fractal images as source for bitmap to wave file conversion. There was something about these particular fractal images though, that generated some interesting subtleties in the resulting sound files, which gave them a sound one might associate with jets of gas streaming through space. It's simple space music, but enjoyable nonetheless. Downloads: 778 Average rating: (0 review)
	Scourge [tmth-003] - Nihil Obstat There can be no progression without evolutionary advances, and Nihil Obstat is not exempt from this tautological certainty. Following releases on Clinical Archives, Amduscias Records, and Sounds Abound, the investigation of intense industrial harsh noise and power electronics sound sculptures continues with "Scourge". Featuring scorched earth drone, blistering feedback, industrial dirges, transmissions from the abyss, metallic kamikaze assaults, and bass pulsations reverberating off of your swif...

	Burning Flame [tmth-004] - Ruins Winter Ruins Winter is an noise project from Argentina, but "Burning Flame" is not your average noise. Instead of the merely brutish scraping noise that exists, this noise is more like volcanic eruption, crossed signals and waveform disruption. It's a very nice listen, something just barely controlled about it's other wise careening feedback and tones. For music that has no normal need for restraint, that quality is used in just the right places to make this recording hypnotic while still shaking your ... Downloads: 1,035 Average rating: (1 review)
	Accumulazioni [tmth-007] - Massimo Brazzini For our negative-integer numbered releases, we're proud to add this gem by Massimo Brazzini into our catalogue. "Accumulazioni" is, as the title suggests, an accumulation of tracks in this dark noisy style. The trilogy of tracks which begins the release, moves thorugh brutish harsh noise, then through a cacophony of bells and distortion, then culminating in an even noisier third part. the dramatic effect of these pieces will not be lost as it would be almost impossible to escape...

	The Black Suns [tmth-00B] - Turmoil It's been a while since we got anything from Tom and Holly of Turmoil, who have been busy running the well-liked Amduscias netlabel. They recently released Jon 7's album "The Dark Moon", so in return we released this album, "The Black Suns". Turmoil albums are usually pretty good anyway, and each album they release further defines their sound. In our minds, it's very much like what new-age music could be if it were not so preoccupied with lightness... Downloads: 2,123 Average rating: (1 review)
	Antiparticles [tmth-001] - Kronofage Kronofage (derived from "chronophage", a time-eater) is a one-off project by Jon 7 that explores the effects of phasic relations between waveforms. This was partially planned and partially accidental, but a completely enjoyable experiment to undertake. A few synthesized waveforms were created and as they were played over themselves at different speeds, certain phase cancellations occurred that removed the signal entirely, and other interactions generated frequencies too high or low to hear but t...

	Mindchor [tmth-002] - JMMIII JMMIII is another side project from Jon 7, although it can't be considered a pseudonym as those are his initials. "Mindchor" is a collection of three midform pieces made from field recordings made in the summer of 2007. The sounds of bike rides made at night, picnics taken at lumber mills and lots of incidental audio are granulated, stretched and processed into compositions that very much resemble "Fields" and "Fields II" on the jon7.net Microlabel...

	Lightning Sunbath [tmth-008] - Ulv Ulf Holbrook, aka Ulv, is one our compatriots from Norway, who by having relatives from very near to where Jon 7 lives, proves how small a world it is indeed. The tracks on "Lightning Sunbath" were made during a bus ride along the Norwegian coast, using sounds recorded from around Ulv on the bus which were manipulated and processed in real-time. These are great stretched and distorted sounds, loud and crunchy on one track, and considerable more sedate on the other... Downloads: 1,032 Average rating: (0 review)
	So)))hllitude [tmth-009] - Desohll Desohll was born after a ‘failed’ attempt to collaborate with an entity whose name shall remain a mystery. Thus, originally intended to be a duo, Desohll has evolved as a solo-project, dictated by the Gaian priest Joomoonaz. The often-ignored sounds created by Mother Earth and its disciples are the main source of inspiration. Desolation is the key word. This longform minimal drone piece was created during a cold December night in 2008... Downloads: 1,096 Average rating: (0 review)
	Honesty Honestly [tmth-00A] - Instant If you think you've seen this release before, you have. It was one of the more interesting guest releases on the Jon7.net Microlabel, and due to its epic strangeness we felt it deserved a place in the Timetheory catalogue. Instant (aka Ben Kelly) created this set of extremely minimal tracks, which use silence as much as sound to create these wide landscapes, ehich at first are stark and repetitive...

	Sprimmer [tmth023] - V/A What is 'sprimmer'? Spring? Summer? A Dutch euphemistic term? This time of year it doesn't matter, the sun is shining, flowers are growing, and in keeping, Timetheory artists and associated creative characters have provided these 17 tracks commemorating the dark and noisy aspects of spring. These 17 artists' tracks span from subtle ambient to drum-and-bass and evil techno. Daffodils and roses it's not, but in this spring garden there are colors and tasty sonic morsels in abundance...

	Protostar [tmth053] - Sunmoon It has been expressed on many occasions that TT releases have a bit of a science-fiction bent, and we like our sci-fi heavy on the science. Enter Sunmoon with "Protostar" and you have a mystical, cosmic ambient masterpiece. The sounds are much like the swirling of gasses and matter as a star is formed or destroyed. As you listen you can feel yourself travelling through clouds of vaporized elements and expanding particles... Downloads: 2,331 Average rating: (0 review)
	Time [tmth003] - Mystified Timetheory Recordings is pleased to present the label debut of Mystified, who previously worked with Jon7.net Microlabel, providing 3 excellent releases. Now Mystified has created this new release, his first for Timetheory as well as the first installment of the "Time" series of recordings this label has embarked upon. Mystified's "Time", consisting of a single medium-length track, entitled "Chronos" begins the series well, first incorporating realistic grandfather clock sounds, depicting the co...

	Debut [tmth-005] - Leviathan Dumped WE got sent this recording by Leviathan Dumped, (a guy named David) who is the curator of the Barefoot Melt netlabel. Unfortunately at the time of this release we were unable to get in touch with him, and he has been invisible ever since. Such it is with art and artists, but we are still enjoying this release. It's noisy, but warm, and nicely abstract in places. There is a lot of sound deconstruction, some audio collage and a range of moods from one track to another...

	Towers [tmth-006] - Jon 7 Many of Jon 7's ideas come from things seen in dreams, and "Towers" is a prime example. In the dream this album's concept came from, Jon 7 was walking through an old house where he found a large map indicating the presence of two large towers, towers that didn't actually exist but were indicative of two equipment set-ups that were referred to as the 'blue tower' and the 'red tower'. The concept as it became applied was one of two groups of people, who have settled a new land, built towers and su... Downloads: 955 Average rating: (0 review)
	Drocht [tmth-00C] - Zieltogend "Drocht" is the first of the trilogy of deconstructions of Jon 7's "Time" album being released in the TT negative integer albums. Zieltogend's stock-in-trade is taking tracks, stripping them to their barest elements and recreating them in a stark and minimal fashion, what some might call "dark drift". This is a really excellent interpretation of "Time" in many ways because the original elements are unrecognizable, and because we find it fascinating how sound can be stretched without breaking...

	Theory [tmth007] - Mystified The second installment of our "Theory" series comes from Mystified, who of course, needs no introduction. This single-track midform, "Accelerated Decrepitude" is a warped, chimey drone that slowly loses its shine over the course of its twenty minute duration. It has been pleasantly joked that those who enjoy footage of metal rusting or corroding in fast motion will especially like this release. As the sound of Mystified continues to evolve and develop, we at Timetheory are proud to assist in the... Keywords: ambient; drone; theoretical; soundscape Downloads: 3,849 Average rating: (0 review)
