Tim Davies is a modular synth artist, drummer and audio engineer from Oxford, UK. Educated at Oxford University, where he achieved a Master’s in Physics, Tim’s scientific background has a large influence on his creative work - which explores the many parallels between the worlds of modular synthesis and jazz music. Tim is one half of the electronic duo Marble Sun, plays drums+synthesisers for the singer songwriter Ralph Porrett, and also writes his own music.
