After graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts in 1993 he studied saxophone with Evan Parker and composition with Richard Barrett in London and Amsterdam. He has been a recipient of numerous Australia Council and Arts Victoria funding for overseas study, recording, touring and commissions. Over the last ten years Tim has composed small and large scale works of notation and for improvisers with his band Bucketrider and Elision Ensemble that have been performed and critically acclaimed throughout Australia, Europe, Japan and in New York. A major part of his creative work has involved cross-art form collaboration with visual artists. He has been commissioned by the Queensland Art Gallery to write music in response to the their acquisition Void #13 by Anglo/Indian sculptor Anish KAPOOR, subsequently recorded at Radio Bremen in 2000. The The Festival of Perth for the installation Lament of Desire with Elision Ensemble and Thai artist Araya Rasdjaarmrearnsook. Recently Tim has worked on developing an approach to composition that juxtaposes blocks of dense layers of sounds with blocks of silence. His solo project 'multiple-repeat' recorded and commissioned by Radio Bremen in May 2002 illustrates this approach utilising saxophones as the sound source overdubbed many times. This multi- layering aesthetic has been further developed for real-time composition with the use of Max/MSP processing and occupies his current solo work, particularly in eight-channel surround sound. At present, Tim is holding a commission to write a new chamber work for voice and five instruments to be premiered by Elision Ensemble in early 2004. He was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1971. "The playing is phenomenal, but it's totally hermetic" --Greg Hooper RealTime Magazine. (Australia) "Somewhere between Arvo Part's ethereal choral work and German band Einsturzende Neubaten's industrial intensity, Tim O'Dwyer's Lament of Desire was an experience I'll treasure" --Robert COOK The Western Australian [Lament of Desire] "we were all blown away! From the tight, frenzied horns exploding at the opening of 'Nexus', - you know you are in for something special. All three horns blast together with this monstrous thick & pounding rhythm team, amazingly tight and well-written horn parts. Actually this reminds me of some of the finer British avant/jazz releases of the 70's'sort of Soft Machine-'Vol. Four' 'without the keyboards. A phenomenal work throughout!" --Down Town Music Gallery (USA) Newsletter #42 [Guignol's Band, bucketrider second album on Dr. Jim's Records] "These are not just inspired improvisations: they're improvised compositions, and contain as many potential lessons for composers as for improvisers." --Richard TOOP Sounds Australia #54 [Solo Sax Show on Vox Australis] "when he goes, he goes right off, in a manner that would probably make Coltrane himself look a tad reserved and understated" --Bob Baker Fish and Tim Themi Inpress Magazine Regards Sunao Inami http://www.cavestudio.com
