	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”...

	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)

	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
	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 The offer was rescinded though due to Jon 7's failure to respond immediately.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)
	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
	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)
	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...

	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...

	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
	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
	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
	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...

	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...

	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)
	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)
	Salvation [tmth059] - Instant "Salvation" is based on a rather simple concept: the starting off with a simple loop and continuously mutating it until it becomes unrecognizable. Standard stuff right? But there's more... the nd part of said mutation is then cut and looped, and mutated continuously. And so it goes through the length of this release. Instant is well-known for epic length releases, such as the 8.5 hour "Sourcery" on Jon7.net Microlabel... Downloads: 916 Average rating: (0 review)
	Carne Crescendo [tmth058] - Fars Somewhere in a space where an endless burnfire burns, in a never ending twilight, around a pole of every time but May, will be heard the circulating, pulsing loops and rhythms of "Carne Crescendo". Though ambient in places it may be, this is music for the flesh, a nine-part hymn to Pan (the big Horny One) brought to us by Fars. This recording waited ten years to be released properly, when you listen you can almost hear it struggling to get free and some amount of ferocious exaltation at having d...

	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)
	Soundscape Architecture [tmth057] - Synthia Synthia, our TT friends in the frozen white north, can always be counted upon to bring the party to the dancefloor, which they do in the opening number of "Soundscape Architecture" but... it's an ambush! The party gets started but then the dancefloor itself falls into deep space just a few tracks in! Was this what we expected? Probably not, and yet we aren't complaining! Yes this release features a number of signature Synthiod sounds, including a number of ambient pieces reminiscent of "Winter W... Downloads: 1,124 Average rating: (0 review)

	Caterpillar Proper [tmth055] - Krakenti Now here's a quirky item in the TT catalogue. Krakenti, an artist from Latvia sent us this album of slow-growing ambient IDM. Each track inches its way along, building and mutating in lazy cycles. The beginnings of these tracks are often in no way indicative of how they will end, which we feel is a very good thing. Elements come in and out of the music in a simplistic way that lets everything be heard pass by pass... Downloads: 835 Average rating: (0 review)
	Eremitic Variations [tmth054] - Serocell Serocell offered Time Theory this fine album some time ago, a follow-up to "Liquid Acid" which was quite well received and enjoyed last year. This release has the same clean digital sound that accompanies many a Serocell release, but this time the sounds are deep, bassy and throbbing. At first it may seem that the volume is too low, but when you first hear the rattling and shaking of your speakers, you'll know what's happening... Downloads: 809 Average rating: (0 review)
	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)
	Complex Silence [tmth052] - Phillip Wilkerson With "Complex Silence", Timetheory and Phillip Wilkerson venture into the realms of enigmatic and abstract ambience. These two long-form tracks are the inaugural release in what promises to be an ongoing Series of releases, further expanding and exploring the depths of long-form space music composed entirely of extremely subtle changes, dissonant harmonies, stretched-out harmonics, abstract tone washes, and layers of mystical atmospheres, but never straying too far from beauty, mystery, and wond...

	Theory III [tmth050] - Simple Painter The third installment of the "Theory" series from Simple Painter takes the theory concept farther out to explore the most popular conspiracy theories of our day. The tracks are given a feeling that suits the mystical and mysterious overtones of the track titles. The artwork blends several of these ideas into a sort of map connecting all things in a unique web of speculation. As with other Simple Painter albums the sound is a chunky sort of drone like a landscape with occasional features appearin... Downloads: 1,105 Average rating: (0 review)
	The Mold Is In The Moor [tmth04F] - Fars The fifth and final section of the Fars trilogy has arrived, and those who have enjoyed the previous four parts will find "The Mold is in The Moor" to be a satisfying conclusion. Sonically it continues the 'vignette' style of thematic depiction, and as these final pieces fill in the story, we can feel very entertained by the story that has been written for us, even if we have had to create the visuals for ourselves...

	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...

	Pfragism [tmth04E] - Twyll Twyll, our clositered deep ambient wunderkind is not the only member of the TT team whose style has been evolving since going to college. While his style has not changed radically, there are elements in this new work of his that are bolder, noisier and more aggressive, and it works well with the sound we remember from his previous works. Yes we do enjoy watching our young ones grow! The artwork which is a radical shift for a Twyll album, reflects some of those stylistic changes... Downloads: 1,598 Average rating: (0 review)
	Science Fiction [tmth04D] - Jon 7 TT label-head Jon 7 goes through occasional creative high cycles during one of which the tracks on "Science Fiction" were created. While searching for a unifying theme he turned to new inspirations that his schooling provided and went with the science fiction short stories he liked so well (soviet especially) and the new aesthetic experiments in op-art he took a strong liking to that week. The tracks themselves fit the space story theme well, electronic ambiences and dissonances that drift like ... Downloads: 1,275 Average rating: (0 review)
	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)
	Back Yard Black Birds [tmth04C] - mayfairgrin mayfairgrin is one of the projects of Andrew Latham, who has had previous releases on Webbed Hand and his own Kulture Shift Media. We were offered the opportunity of releasing a mayfairgrin album, and are proud to present it to you now. mayfaigrin creates a celestial sort of ambient sound, reflective and moody, and somewhat meditative on a more complex level. "Back Yard Black Birds" consists of two long drone pieces, which shimmer and and shift slowly throughout their duration... Downloads: 1,607 Average rating: (0 review)
	The No Molten Petrie is Jawohl [tmth04B] - Fars "The No Molten Petrie is Jawohl" is part four of the Fars trilogy, and the story, whatever it may be, continues! As we have license here to interpret it as we hear it, we imagine that our characters have made planetfall on a somewhat Earth-like planet. To any weary human space traveler this must come as some relief. Yet through the impressions given by the music, the characters have discovered that they cannot speak any of the native languages...

	Clockwork [tmth04A] - Jon 7 "Clockwork" is Jon 7's tribute to a Mystified piece of the same name, which he liked very much when it came out on the Treetrunk netlabel. This "Clockwork" is in three parts each making different use of different sets of clock sounds. The results range from soothing to crushing. If time were some sort of internal combustion process happening in very slow motion, this is probably what it would sound like... Downloads: 1,688 Average rating: (0 review)
	Psychogram [tmth049] - Given Willingly Andreas has returned with another fine album for us; the question is, what sort of movie does it call to mind this time? The subject matter is much more personal this time, focusing on the sticky aspects of relationships. Unlike the average American teen romance movie, this album is much more thought-provoking and meaningful. After any intense relationship one feels the need to get their head checked... Downloads: 1,897 Average rating: (0 review)
	Nachtkind [tmth046] - Alexander Jannink Alexander Jannink (aka Vanilla Sandro) has been one of Jon 7's strongest allies for several years, and after a few successful collaborations and releases on Jon7.net Microlabel, Alex told Jon 7 he was working on an ambitious full-length album entitled "Nachtkind". The album's construction took over a year, went through several track lineup changes, and then took almost another year to be mastered and delivered... Downloads: 765 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...

	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)
	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...

	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)
	Sound Experiment 1 & 2 [tmth048] - Guy David It's always nice to hear from Guy David as it is, and when he emailed recently to offer his latest sound experiment (#2), we were excited to hear it, and it didn't disappoint! The first "Sound Experiment" was originally released on Jon7.net Microlabel, and we felt it deserved a place in the Timetheory catalogue, as well as the chance to reach a new audience, so "Sound Experiment 2" was added to the become this release...

	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)
	Cka3at [tmth047] - Fars The third part of the Fars trilogy has arrived in the form of "Cka3at", a shorter collection of vignettes that serve as a bridge to the next part of the trilogy. Short as it is, a listener still gets a further defining taste of the universe according to Fars, a sort of proto-industrial world where machines are alive and pirates still run rampant across the stars. This is audio science fiction for the 21st century... Downloads: 923 Average rating: (0 review)
	Deeper [tmth045] - Massimo Brazzini A few years back, Jon 7 created a piece for the jon7.net microlabel entitled "Ocean Floor", his first foray into fractal/generative composition. At the time it was surprisingly well-received, especially amongst people who were not usually fans of electronic music. At that time it was often hit or miss as to whether he tended to keep the component parts that made up his compositions, but luckily they were kept for "Ocean Floor" and subsequently remixed once before by Turmoil, and now on this occa...

	190 ft Lubricated Polyester [tmth044] - My Cell Phone Is Better Than Your Cell Phone If the winter is proving to be too cold for you to handle, may we suggest you wrap yourself up in "190 ft Lubricated Polyester"! Our good buddy Al from Canada sent us this bundle of extremely warm and comfortable abstract, ambient and rhythmic tracks, and we've been wearing them ever since. There's a distinctly noisy edge to several of them, like a winter storm, but within the tracks lies a sense of warmth, the storm is outside... Downloads: 796 Average rating: (0 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...

	Falter [tmth043] - V/A Earlier on in 2008, Timetheory presented a compilation of dark and noisy tracks entitled "Sprimmer", which showcased a lot of interesting artists and sounds. It seemed natural to follow up with this celebration of the season between fall and winter with "falter", our latest compilation. The focus this time was on beautiful and ambient sounds, and the contributions we received were some of the more striking and unique work that had come our way...
