Bio / info

Jim Tetlow has been recording music since 1990 when he made his first tapes recorded from the song memory of a Yamaha PSS-790 keyboard at the tender age of 16.  In the time-honoured tradition of the bedroom musician in the 80s and 90s a 4-track cassette recorder, effects units and a second-hand Commodore Amiga followed.  Already at this time he had a fondness for weaving minimalist patterns into his music. In the spring of 1997 a meeting with a childhood friend led to his first involvement with Leicester's thriving and diverse music scene.  He also met and became friendly with the Freeman brothers whose record shop Ultima Thule was somewhat legendary for lovers of music outside of the mainstream.  Their own sonic explorations inspired a change of direction for him which lasted around a decade before he began to combine this musical world with his more rhythmically-based earlier style into the definitive hybrid aesthetic he works in today.  Since 1999 he has collaborated with them in the far-out and often innovative improv trio Endgame.
