T. Gowdy

Canadian producer and engineer T. Gowdy creates audiovisual installations alongside experimental techno and ambient pieces. Deconstructing sonic environments forms a core focus in his output, which favors grainy textures and throbbing, distorted beats over the soothing, pristine sounds typical of environmental music. Among his recordings stands 2022's Miracles, drawn from material originally developed for an audiovisual project that incorporated surveillance footage.

Prior to earning a Masters' degree in sound recording, Tim Gowdy performed as a singer in a boys choir and pursued studies in classical guitar. Freelance production and engineering work has placed him on dozens of projects, among them albums by Ada Lea, Suuns, Anna Webber, and numerous classical musicians and ensembles. Releases under the T. Gowdy name began in 2018, when B-Stock and Vitrify Kate both appeared; that same year he mounted audiovisual installations at the MUTEK Festival in Montréal and at galleries in Berlin, where he maintains a partial base, and served as support for Actress and Devon Welsh. Pachira Aquatica arrived in 2019, after which Gowdy sustained a schedule of installations and performances across Europe and Canada that included an appearance at the Barcelona edition of MUTEK and an artist residency at Eastern Bloc in Montréal. Therapy with Colour, among his more rhythm-oriented releases, came out via Constellation Records in 2020, followed by the track "Emerald Teeth" as part of the label's Corona Borealis Longplay Singles series. Several audiovisual works surfaced in 2021, among them the collaboration Peribitive with light artist Anastasija Delidova, while he also handled sound design for Emma Roufs' documentary Atalaya. Miracles, his second Constellation album, surfaced in 2022 and reworked recordings from an earlier unreleased project.
