English

Dr Tim Johnston is a composer, audio engineer, and researcher, making music which crosses stylistic boundaries between Anglo-Welsh traditional music, popular music, and contemporary Classical repertoire. He also has an active interest in both the theory and practice of music and narrative, a topic which is the focus of a number of compositional and academic outputs.

 

A keen producer and mix engineer, Tim has composed soundtracks for several films, short and feature-length; his debut studio album, Green Grow the Rushes, was released in early 2023. He is particularly interested in the music of early 20th century British composers, but counts an eclectic range of composer amongst his influences, from Morfydd Owen to Barry Cockcroft, and Arnold Schoenberg to Terry Riley.

Mae Dr Tim Johnston yn gyfansoddwr, peiriannydd sain, ac ymchwilydd, yn creu cerddoriaeth sy’n croesi ffiniau arddull rhwng cerddoriaeth draddodiadol Eingl-Gymreig, cerddoriaeth boblogaidd, a repertoire Clasurol cyfoes. Mae ganddo hefyd ddiddordeb byw yn theori ac ymarfer cerddoriaeth a naratif, pwnc sy'n ffocws i nifer o allbynnau cyfansoddiadol ac academaidd.

​

Yn gynhyrchydd a pheiriannydd cymysgedd brwd, mae Tim wedi cyfansoddi traciau sain ar gyfer nifer o ffilmiau, byr a hyd nodwedd; rhyddhawyd ei albwm stiwdio gyntaf, Green Grow the Rushes, yn gynnar yn 2023. Mae ganddo ddiddordeb arbennig yng ngherddoriaeth cyfansoddwyr Prydeinig o ddechrau’r 20fed ganrif, ond mae’n cyfrif amrywiaeth eclectig o gyfansoddwyr ymhlith ei ddylanwadau, o Morfydd Owen i Barry Cockcroft, ac Arnold Schoenberg i Terry Riley.
