Tim Daisy is a Chicago based drummer, composer and presenter who’s been an active member of the international improvised music scene since the late 1990s.
Mainly self- taught, with some private lessons on drums, marimba and vibraphone, Tim’s move and subsequent immersion into Chicago’s fertile creative music scene in 1997 has given him the opportunity to perform, compose, tour and record with some of the city’s most acclaimed musicians and ensembles.
Along with his drumming and compositional work connected to various experimental music groups, Tim has also contributed original compositions and improvisations for modern dance companies, sound installations, documentary films, and podcasts.
Since 2011, he has operated Relay Records, a 100% artist-run cd and download label which documents much of his creative work both locally and internationally.
Tim also co-curates the Option Series at Experimental Sound Studio. The programming explores contemporary perspectives on improvisation and composition in a ‘salon’ format, enabling local, national, and international artists to publicly discuss their practice and ideas as well as perform.
In addition, he is a member of the Catalytic Sound Creative Music Cooperative. A music-based co-operative designed to help create economic sustainability for its artists through patron support.
