Info for Moment Of Departure

Dies ist das ehrgeizigste Projekt in Tim Garlands steiler Karriere, mit dem er das 20-jährige Bestehen des Lighthouse Trios (Gwilym Simcock und Asaf Sirkis) feiert und gleichzeitig sein Können als Komponist und Arrangeur mit der Britten Sinfonia unter Beweis stellt, bei der der Geiger Thomas Gould und das Trompeten-Ass Yazz Ahmed als besonderer Gast auf einem Stück zu hören sind. Tim beschreibt das Projekt: "Der Moment des Aufbruchs, weg vom Bekannten, vom Notierten, hin zu etwas Neuem, ist ein Schrei furchtloser Freiheit. Die Kompositionen auf diesem Album haben alle eine entscheidende und vielfältige Beziehung zur improvisierten Musik, vom Streichorchester über das intime Trio bis hin zur völlig freien Musik. Klassische Einflüsse und visuelle Kunst haben mich ebenso beeinflusst wie mein Jazzherz. Die Gemäldeserie "Sail To Hope" von Esra Kizir Gokcen bildet die Grundlage für die Musik der ersten CD. Das Thema der Reise ins Unbekannte sowie der Einfluss türkischer Rhythmen schaffen die Hintergrundatmosphäre, während sie den Jazzsolisten Raum und Freiheit lassen."

He has won a series of BBC awards for band leading and composition between 1989 and 2006.

In 2008 he won a Grammy for his orchestrations of Chick Corea's music on "The New Crystal Silence" and continues to be Chick's saxophone player touring the jazz scene internationally.

He was Research Fellow at Newcastle University between 2004 and 2008 and has been a visiting proffessor at the Royal Academy Of Music for over a decade.

He is married with two children and shares his time between London and the North East of England.

Tim is one of the most versatile musicians in the UK. He won a Grammy for his orchestrations of the Chick Corea CD "The New Crystal Silence", which he helped produce at the Sydney Opera House, and is accepting commissions as composer and arranger from several of the worlds leading orchestras.

He has won several BBC awards for his small ensemble projects and delights in fusing together differing musical disciplines. Particularly familiar with the worlds of contemporary orchestral and jazz music, Tim is also adept in creating music in the studio using electronic and pre-recorded material.

His skills extend to writing lyrics, many of which are evident on this site, and he has formed lasting relationships with several internationally renowned musicians, often working onstage alongside them.
