Tim Gray : Ethernet ∴ Tanuki House ∴ Brother Blue ∴ etc. 

Ethernet is the pulse-ambient project of Portland’s Tim Gray, with releases on Kranky, Lifelike Family and many other labels. An MFA graduate of Mills College, Tim wrote his thesis on the use of sound for control, healing and empowerment, and incorporates trance-induction and brainwave entrainment techniques into his productions to create soundscapes conducive to meditation and healing work. Techno’s pounding kick is slowed, muted and recontextualized as a hypnotic pulse, underlining constantly-shifting synthesizer textures and environmental field recordings. Dream-like, perhaps mystical, sounds that one might experience while wandering in the deep woods.

Tim also works under a variety of other project names, producing in various stylistic genres and in collaboration with other artists. These include Tanuki House, Brother Blue, High Light, and Cavatica Sessions.
