November 2007: Music contributed to an upcoming gallery installation by Ozgur Culha: "I am working on a project funded by the NWT Arts council. My project involves photographing people of the North, from first nations to immigrants, young people to elders in their daily life. The goal of the project is to present, through a photographic display, northern residents from other lands and show human beings’ adaptation skills and strengths into new environment. As we all know, they may have various reasons to come to North but they all have the same reason to stay here more than they have planned: 'North is home'."
Besart Hysniu has been recording voices of several people from different countries; either singing, telling poems or simply chatting in their first languages to create a soundtrack music for the display with Tim Gerwing. The photographs will be on display at the Prince of Wales Heritage Centre, Yellowknife this winter. The official opening of the exhibition is on Sunday, December 9th.
Tim Gerwing has contributed music to a production of "The American Pilot" at the Jericho Arts Centre. Directed by Adam Henderson, music by Murray Price. The American Pilot runs October 12 - November 3 2007.
A special thank you to my long-time friend and collaborator Besart Hysniu for his help and inspiration making the new background audio loops (Never Twice The Same) for www.lascaux21.com

June 1st, 2007: 30 Days June 2007.
Thirty Days turns on the pressure with thirty daily deadlines. Each deadline forces the artist to choose a subject, an approach and a tool and create something by the end of the day.
By establishing deadlines, even artificial ones, the act of creation is given a higher priority in the hierarchy of everyday activities. Re-prioritizing daily tasks is often difficult at first, but becomes easier over the Thirty Days. The aim is to get something made by the end of the day. It may not be your best work, but it will give you experience with re-organizing your life to make creating art a priority. Something may be squeezed out to make room, maybe for the better.
Tim Gerwing full 30 Days playlist. |

December 7th 2005: An early Seasonal Gift from a Master - Besart Hysniu has made a remix of "Stream of Consciousness". What's not surprising is that the remix is great.
