Tim Morse began his instrument instruction at a young age and started composing immediately upon picking up the guitar. He later moved onto the piano and studied as a music composition major, writing extended pieces such as a string quartet and two piano sonatas. During this time Tim performed with various rock and fusion bands and played on many recording sessions. Tim\u2019s first album of original music was entitled \u201cTransformation\u201d and was released in 2005. The album was well received by the Progressive Rock community and recognized as an original voice, in the tradition of Yes and Genesis, yet recorded and performed with a modern edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His second album \u201cFaithscience\u201d was released in 2012 and musically it picked up where \u201cTransformation\u201d left off, continuing to explore the best of Progressive Rock. In addition to this release Tim became a member of the Jerry Jennings band and formed The Mangoes with Bret Bingham. The Mangoes released their debut album in 2014 and it was appreciated for its pop sensibility and quirky humor. His latest solo release \u201cIII\u201d was also warmly embraced in 2018 by critics and fans alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tim\u2019s recent cover version of the classic Yes song \u201cAwaken\u201d has received the ultimate compliments from members of Yes – Rick Wakeman enthused, \u201cBest YES cover I’ve heard …well done to everybody\u201d and Jon Anderson said, \u201cGreat job with \u2018Awaken\u2019…the fact you sat around and decided to perform it is a treat….not an easy work!\u201d Composer\/musician Adam Holzman was so impressed by this performance of it that he offered to do his own remix of the song (both versions can be found on Tim\u2019s Youtube channel and website).
