Tim Koch

Tim Koch is a musician from Adelaide, Australia who completed three years of Music Technology at Adelaide University's P.A.T.U recording studio in 1998. Fascinated by 8-bit computer game soundtracks at an early age, Tim began experimenting with music and eventually began playing bass and drums in local bands. Considerably influenced by the more 'English' type eclectic electronica of the last decade, Tim began sequencing his own tracks with synths and drum machines. Tim has appeared on a number of overseas and local compilations usually under his 'Thug' alter ego, on labels such as M3rck Records [Miami], Negativland's label Seeland, Systorm Technologies [New York], Component Records [USA], Intr_Version [Canada], mini-disc label n5MD [USA], Global Recordings [Aust.], Lucky Kitchen [USA]. Tim has also done the in-game music and CD audio soundtrack to the PC game "Ultra Violent Worlds". Tim also manages local electronia label Surgery Records. Tim is a very busy man...
