A celebration of Tim Wright’s music. The early ’90s electronic music culture was a lot more than four on the floor kicks for the head, as exemplified by Germ. From there Tim’s work expanded in many directions, with projects such as Pin, Sand, Viewer and Tube Jerk. Tim had a real creative genius and in the studio he was a sound alchemist!
Tim Wright passed away on 19th April 2025. Tim had a real creative genius and in the studio he was a sound alchemist. Throoughout his life he worked mostly at studios in York, the primary one being Finsbury Park Studio, located at Finsbury Street, next to a park. The early ’90s electronic music culture was a lot more than four on the floor kicks for the head, and Tim’s early project Germ exemplified the depth and range of what could be done with relatively simple means. Tim was always open to collaborating with others. One example was an attempt to play jazz which transformed into the group Sand. In parallel to this and many other projects, Tim developed his solo work and composed some of the best rave influenced anthems under the name Tube Jerk. Other projects include Pin, Asphere, Moondog, Fat Coda, Speed Baby, Viewer and Stereoscope. Computer based composition was always central to his work and his PhD work for the University of York featured algorithmic compositions for virtual string ensembles. In his last years Tim taught at the University and was a valued member of staff, always encouraging students to find their voice and express their creativity, as he had done with all his colleagues through his life. Tim Wright’s music is released on many labels including GPR, Soul Jazz Records, Melt Records, Sativae, PIAS, Tresor, The Nothing Special and Novamute. This programme is a celebration of his amazing music, put together by Hilary Jeffery and friends. Thank you Tim!
An Elope special dedicated to the music of prolific producer and composer Tim Wright (1969 – 2025), also known as Germ, Pin, Tube Jerk, Sand, Viewer and many more…

Organza Ray are Hilary Jeffery and Eleni Poulou. They are connecting pathways of knowledge through sound, discovering shimmering entrances and underwater arches. 400 years of long notes, open bags and dancing butterfly blues.

There’s no hiding place down here
There’s no hiding place down here
Oh I ran to the rock to hide my face
The rock cried out – “No hiding place”
No hiding place down here
While practising tuba at Tempelhofer Feld in the beautiful Berlin summer of 2020 – in between shutdowns – I found myself playing the melody to “We Shall Overcome”. While playing, new lyrics came to me affirming my firm belief that reality is already virtual enough and so “we shall go offline”.
