Quotes and Reviews

“Mister Tim is taking beat boxing and a cappella performance to the next technological level. It’s just amazing what he can do in a live performance! Every sound, instrument, note and word comes from his voice.” -Starfest 2010 ”Mister Tim had the whole audience in stitches. He’s a talented singer, but he really wowed us with all the things he can do with his voice and his pedals and all this other technology. It was unforgettable.”-Brody McDonald "[Mister Tim's] vocal instrumentation and comic interludes have gained a nationwide following."--Kettering-Oakwood Times “[Mister Tim] sings in over a dozen different musical groups, but it is in his solo ‘live-looping’ show that he gets to show off the breadth and depth of his writing and performing skill.” -DowntownBoulder.com "AWESOME! HILARIOUS! Enough said. " David Lambert "He was FANTASTIC. His music is original and brilliant and he has a natural presence on stage that draws the audience's attention to him." Alec Judd "Mr. Tim was hilarious, fun and a spectacular artist. It was amazing to watch him work, and his sense of comedic timing was impeccable.

We were all eating out of the palm of your hand.” -Matt “Wonderful stuff at market yesterday Mister Tim! So glad you came. Really enjoyed your stuff.” -Bill “Today’s response has been overwhelming… people love you!” -Lisa @ Logan Garden Market "Mister Tim was the surprise act at FoCoMX. He...ended up being the most talked about performer at the festival. His music is hilarious and well done."  Greta C "Brilliant lyrics. Brilliant harmonies. Brilliant...everything." Ammon “Mister Tim : Vocal Magic” reviews and reactions: “Vocal Magic is a multifaceted one man show that hinges on Mister Tim’s prodigious vocal textures, far-reaching vocal range, and his ability to work three sound effect pedals that enable to sing with himself and mix his voice in real time–a process calledlive looping. Part stand-up comedy, part poetry slam, and part performance art, Vocal Magic was like nothing I had ever seen before. If T.S. Eliot could have sang and Allan Ginsberg had known how to beatbox and been stuck in one body, they could have been reincarnated as Mister Tim. Vocal Magic was like nothing I’d ever seen but it was definitely something I wished to see again.” –Laura Craner, motleyvision.com “Seen the show twice, and I’m excited to see it again. In fact, if Mister Tim were the Grateful Dead, I’d be wearing tie-dye and selling my car to buy a VW Van so I could follow him all over the country. This show really IS magic. I end up smiling the whole time, wondering what will come next. The mix of improv and rehearsed music is exciting (and last show, reviewers couldn’t tell the difference between the two–thought it was all rehearsed). It’s moody, melancholy, odd, beautiful, and compelling. Grabs you, pops you in, chews you up, spits you back out, and you’ve never been so glad to be a show’s lunch.” -Andrew “Highly recommended. Tim’s work is intriguing, inspiring, and fascinating, in all the best ways.” -Dave “Having just seen Mister Tim work his Magic… well, suffice to say, if you don’t want to be floored, amazed, impressed, and inspired, then stay away.” -Chad “This is an incredible show. I was floored (and I’ve seen him looping before). Second time was just as good as the first. It’s REALLY amazing.” -Rebecca “Went to see Mister Tim in his one man show last night. That is one amazingly talented dude.” -Bob “Great show tonight Mister Tim. You are one extremely talented dude.” -Joe “AWESOME show. We absolutely loved it!” -Teresa “It was amazing, and you deserve hearty congrats for a great show!” -Deondra and Kevin “Top show tonight Tim.

So awesome, dood!” -Kyle “Hey! i loved your cupcake song and hurrican on Imogen heaps concert, you are music genuis!” -Krystal Review of Mister Tim performance June 16, 2010, from Marisa Debowsky and Amy Malkoff of The Contemporary A Cappella Society (original review here: http://www.casa.org/node/7809) Marisa: Very theatrical, in an understated way; SUPER smooth transitions Amy: Yeah, it’s very clear almost immediately that he is not improv-ing here, at least not for the most part. These are compositions, charted and tight, that he performs this way (or close to it) each time. Marisa: He shows incredible range: he does a pop song (“Billy Jean”), dirty bass (“I’ve seen zombies in the street…”), buzzed bass and more macabre lyrics (with Indian-sounding B section?), bouncy-but-creepy disco with whisper (“cupcakes can kill you if they’re made of death / fear the cupcakes, the cupcakes are coming…”), story-song (“make my cornflakes taste like sadness…”), and back to pop mashup (“Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This”) Amy: I wrote the word “macabre” too. I suspect Tim will take that as the compliment it’s meant to be! I think Tim is one of the best lyricists in the a cappella world today. He’s definitely taking chances. I can’t wait to see how he progresses as a solo act. Marisa: Overall, uber-impressive as an act – polished, and dark, and fun Quotes and recommendations about his educational programs.
