"... to use the real creative potential of new media in an artistic and interactive way to create modern electronic sound art..."
Marko Timlin is a sound artist, composer, musician and inventor of virtual and analogue instruments.
During the last years he has developed his main musical and artistic objective: the intuitive improvisation and interaction
with new electronic media to create his own unconventional sound adventures and contemporary electronica
that is challenging the ears and the mind. His music demonstrates a perfect balance between order and chaos.
Timlin freely breaks the boundaries of composition and improvisation in his non-contradicting mix of organized
parts and completely messed up blasts of sound. While playing live in concert the creation of his music
happens in real-time and, therefore, is as surprising for the audience as it is for the performing artist himself.
He allows the audience to witness a dialog between man and machine.
