Hi, I'm TCH (timothy c Holehouse) I make erm well its hard to describe really all sorts of music. I guess the primary genre would be drone... although lots of other elements go to build my sounds.
I also do delta style blues under Tim Holehouse and with both projects tour a lot, travelling the globe.
I'm interested in doing some sound art work in the future as well as Movie soundtrack work etc.
Anyway here is all my stuff...
TCH (AKA Timothy C Holehouse) is the work of Tim Holehouse (also a
performer of blues material) This is a more diverse set pieces and
currently for the most part instrumental pieces using varied
instrumentation and sound sources. This consists of several elements,
with these elements in isolation or sometimes combined to depending on
the feel of the piece.
These elements are...
TCH (Drone/Ambient)
Using effected guitar to create growing swells of sound and sometimes
using minimal percussion

TCH (noise)
mostly using no guitar sources and various effects to create walls of
psychedelic and often harsh walls of noise. Also involves elements of
Black metal and Doom metal.

Biography
The project started under the name Timothy C Holehouse was formed
after it was decided that his song writing styles where moving in two
very different directions. The first is a more standard blues song
writer using voice and guitar. The other uses, affected guitar and
sound sources to create pieces, rather than more traditional songs.
Two albums have been released on UK label Dead Pilot records the first
being To the howls at midnight a very minimal sparse set of
compositions recorded in seclusion in the middle of Dorset one New
year’s eve. After the success of this it was decided that a follow up
record would be created with a larger more band feel to it. With the
help of good friend Robert Hobson and Rick Blakelock on drums (A
forest of stars and Electric Mud generator). The second record In
search of the binary star was created. Using elements of Neo folk,
drone, soundscapes and field recordings it was forged over a cold
January in Leeds.
During this time Timothy C Holehouse also set about recording some
noise based material away from the guitar which featured in a one a
month tape cassette series with different artist from across the
world. Around this time during a tour in the UK and Japan he also made
collaborations with various artists such as Japan’s Veee deee. He has
also 2011 made collaboration with Indiana’s Squirmm Orchestra.
The change of name to TCH harks to the fact the material has become
more and more sparse and vocals now have pretty much been omitted from
the work. Used only as textures or spoken short pieces.
A third album is shortly to follow the first after leaving Dead Pilot
records and features Blakelock again on drums as well as his two band
mates from A forest of stars and Electric Mud Generator. Jonerator and
Duncan Evans. The four pieces as well as a track for a split picture
disc with Slabdragger (Holy roar records) where recorded over a month
period and move in an even more epic direction than “in search of the
binary star”.
TCH has toured the world along with his blues material is on the road
most of the time. Travelling the planet and playing his work to many
different types of people. Including tours in the US with
USAISAMONSTER and around Europe with New Zealand’s Gerda Blank.
Two split records of new material have also been release both on 12”
Vinyl has recently been released on his own Dislocation Deity records
imprint. With Left hand cuts off the right and Vaelium collective (of
which TCH is a part time member and appears on their side of the
record too). Also a split records both on 7” with slabdragger from
Croydon (holy roar records) on picture disc and Gerda Blank from New
Zealand (now based in Czech Republic) on coloured vinyl.
I also do delta style blues under Tim Holehouse and with both projects tour a lot, travelling the globe.
