Announcing…

March 19, 2010 in General | No comments

What happens when…

…you follow your dreams,

…march forward in defiance,

…let your whims take the wheel,

…and listen to the silence?

I am pleased to officially announce the next collection of Tim Guion music:

Tim Guion: E=m_otion

Tim Guion: E=m_otion

E=m_otion: Title

Perpetual Energy, Feeling, and Movement

More than just a collection of songs, my newest work delves deeper into the condition we know as humanity.  All of us share a common connection, the collective consciousness, and when we stop thinking about our “lives” and pay attention to our souls, even silence has a message.

I hear music in the silence.

Music of our shared stories, lessons, truths…

I am humbled and thrilled with the opportunity to express our humanity through music.  Each song on E=m_otion offers a tiny glimpse into what it means for me to be alive, connected, aware…  And it is my hope that as you listen, you feel more alive, connected, and aware of your own humanity and all that we share together.

E=m_otion will officially be released in a few weeks, but I invite you to listen to the entire album preview on my Facebook page.

Never technically finished, but…

December 12, 2009 in General | No comments

It was just about one year ago that I set out on this quest: to spend one year dedicated and focused on writing music for my new album.

That one year would prove to be one of the most (but certainly not the last) interesting, rewarding, challenging, eye-opening, amazing, spiritual, humbling, joyous, life-changing… and productive years of my young life.

I’ve certainly had a few distractions in the past year as well: co-producing some awesome projects related to my former career in the lighting industry, a couple trips to some fascinating places in Europe and beyond, a few attempts at some sort of personal life and… oh… that little matter of moving to a foreign country!

“So, Tim,” you ask wryly, “how’s that new album coming along? “

Well… as any artist will tell you, we never really consider our work truly finished.  But I do have the distinct pleasure to announce to you now, that after one year of dedication, focus (and distractions)…

Not glamourous, but it works

Not glamorous, but it works

I have finished composing music for my new album!!!

Now on to the remaining details: final edits, mixes and masters of the music; the visual and artistic designs of the album itself (a collaborative project with my dear friend and visual artist Erin Faith Allen); and the final submission to the production/duplication company.

This is an important milestone for me and the new album.  In the coming weeks I plan to release further information about it, possibly with the official unveiling shortly after the New Year.

Stay tuned…

The real Tim Guion

September 29, 2009 in General

So what will I use this blog for anyway?  Above all, this forum is a great tool for me to keep my website content fresh without complicated re-designs of my entire site or specific site pages (after all, I’m still a one-man show and this website stuff is time consuming!)  A blog section gives me much more freedom to bring dynamic, current “stream of consciousness” content to my fans, friends & family.

Some things I plan to bring to this blog:

  • insights into my creative process
  • share events, thoughts, and realizations that have inspired me
  • updates on new works and projects that I’m involved in
  • technical columns (like how my studio works, music software reviews etc.)
  • New song previews
  • Links to other cool artists (I’m really excited about this!!)
  • And anything else I can think of… (send me a note if you have ideas, too!)

I sincerely hope you will enjoy following my blog and that you find it interesting, informative and entertaining.

While my main website is my primary, formal “public” presentation, my blog is a place were I can get a little more personal, giving you a chance to get to know the real Tim Guion a little better.

Crash Course

September 28, 2009 in General | No comments

I’m in that mode where I cannot be torn away from the computer. This is my first foray into the blogosphere, and I have a lot to learn! (Hey, at least I’m able to post already, right?)

My goal is to make this blog integrate into my website as seamlessly as possible, which will involve a slight re-design of the entire site to better comply with design standards.

While I certainly enjoy this work, you can probably tell that I am NOT at my keyboard writing music. [Grrrrrrr...]

I’ve got my “manager” and “PR” hats on these days…

My new blog…

September 27, 2009 in General | No comments

Well, if you’ve gotten this far, it should be obvious to you that I’m starting a blog on my website!!!  It might take me a couple more days to customize this system, so for now, I’ll have to leave it at this…

Thanks for visiting my blog!!!  More to come soon.
