PAKT – LIVE RECORDINGS 2024

SIGNED EDITIONS of this amazing new live album have been landing in mailboxes around the world this week to those of you who pre-ordered way back when, and helped us out with our 2024 late summer tour and the financing of this new record. Thank you so much!

We think it is our best record to date. We spent many weeks, days and evenings going through all of the live show multitracks and listening to our concerts in North Carlolina from Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville; Sellersville, PA and Rutherford, NJ at ProgStock. Although this process took a long time, we took great care with the recordings and did find the best tracks to make this album. We think it’s also our best sounding album yet! The album was mixed by Eric Bogacz and Tim Motzer with assistance from Percy Jones.

A special surprise: During our concert at ProgStock, renowned keyboardist Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson) sat in with us and we are thrilled to offer the epic finale from that concert with Adam on this album.

We’ve had many requests if we’d have additional copies. So, we are happy and excited for those of you who were not able pre-order to now purchase a SIGNED EDITION, as they last…AND, we have a few unsigned, and of course, high resolution downloads of PAKT – LIVE RECORDINGS 2024.

TIM MOTZER – MANY WAYS AROUND THE SUN
Listening Party
Sunday January 19th
at 2pm ET at BandcampRSVP: https://1krecordings.bandcamp.com/merch/many-ways-around-the-sun-listening-party-2

Join me, Tim Motzer, for a revisiting of Many Ways Around the Sun, my first solo vocal album. It’s been recently re-stocked, so CDs are available now. During our hang, I’ll draw a name of one of the lucky listeners for a free signed copy of Many Ways Around the Sun. See you Sunday! Be sure to RSVP!. See you Sunday!
1k Revisited: 2025 Listening PartiesI invite you to join me on Bandcamp for an archive-diving series exploring my deep and eclectic catalog on 1k recordings. It was launched in 1999 as a vehicle to release the music that i was producing—live and studio recordings, collaborations, solo work, various electronic projects, remixes, experimental pop songs, downtempo, jazz, soundtrack work, etc—regardless of genre. As time went on and technologies changed, it made sense to continue using 1k as an artistic outlet and a place to house a singular body of work.

This weekly series will dive into my various creative collaborations and solo works from over two decades. I invite you all to come along, listen, and hang. Many memories will be uncovered as we listen together and enjoy a shared musical moment. I’ll be along on the chats to bring in any insights and stories from those sessions and times, and I’ll invite my musical collaborators to join in for the fun too. During each listening party, one random listener will win a signed CD or a one-of-a-kind handpainted CD of the album of the week! So be sure to mark your calendars. See you there!

TIM MOTZER – small works 2020 – 2024
Art Show & Sale  is a wrap.

It was such a fun show! I am so grateful that so many of you made it out to see my work, and thank you for those of you that puchased one of these framed paintings for a wall in your home. For those still curious, you can still purchase remaining paintings by contacting: deehessler@gmail.com
A pricelist, description, and photos of the works will be dispatched to you. Looking forward to hearing from you! – tim motzer, January 2025

Guitarist/painter has been painting for 20 years, focusing on abstract impressionistic works for large canvas and smaller works on paper and artboard. He’s been designing and creating covers for his label 1k Recordings, and others for the last 20 years as well, and some of the original pieces in this show are indeed album cover original paintings. Tim has been releasing limited edition handpainted CD editions from his label for about a decade now as a way to bundle his original art and music together. It’s been successful in getting his art into the hands of many of his listeners worldwide. This is his first exhibition of smaller work.

All of these imaginative paintings are framed and ready for your wall!  If you are outside of Philly and interested in Tim’s work, you can browse photos of remaining painting from his art show below. Inquiries can by made by emailing: deehessler@gmail.com

Tim Motzer – small works 2020 – 2024
TIM MOTZER

Artist statement

This show, small works 2020 – 2024, reflects a cross section of my smaller works including album covers. These paintings are improvisational, and utilize mixed media: acrylic paint, paint pens, graphite, watercolor, and markers. Many of these paintings came to life while I worked towards album cover art.  I have also been painting large scale abstract works (40in x 40in and 48in x 48in) using acrylic and graphite on canvas.

As a guitarist—texture, atmosphere, landscape, harmonic color, and line all come together to form the whole. Sonic texture and layering are major components in my music. I am exploring this approach within my paintings, as one medium reflects the other.

My goal is to express visually what I hear in my music. I recognize a similar improvisational direction in my painting—collisions, accidents, and densities of color,motion, decay, dream-like states, mystery, and space. Within both music and fine art, I am searching the unknown for beauty, magic, and a sense of wonder.

My paintings have been influenced a great deal by traveling the world—these works somehow take on a sense of place to me. I am sure sub-conscious memory, intuition, and emotion play a role in the immediateness of the process. I think through the blur of life, all these experiences bubble to the surface as a burst of expression.
T I M   M O T Z E R

For over two decades of world touring, 12 solo guitar soundscape albums, and a multitude of stunning collaborations and productions including 100+ albums of credits, Tim Motzer continues to “traverse manifold territories in music” (Guitar Player magazine). Tim has been recognized by Prepared Guitar (Madrid, Spain) in their list of top 100 modern guitarists worldwide.

Tim is a sonic pioneer and widely known for his distinct textural acoustic-electro guitar voice utilizing looping, bowing, electronics, and prepared techniques. He has collaborated with numerous musical luminaries across genres including poet Ursula Rucker, David Sylvian, Les Nubians, Isaac Hayes, Jaki Liebezeit (CAN), King Britt, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Vernon Reid, David Torn, Pat Mastelotto, and Percy Jones, among others. His co-production with King Britt on the album “Sister Gertrude Morgan” has been heard in films, TV shows, and numerous commercials, with placements including HBO’s “True Blood,” the Michael Mann feature film “Miami Vice” as well as the film “Hustle” starring Adam Sandler.

From 2016-2020, Tim toured the world playing prestigious venues and jazz festivals with Bandit65, an improvising trio he co-leads with guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and drummer Gintas Janusonis; their 2020 release, Searching the Continuum (Heartcore Records), received a rare five-star review from J.D. Considine in Downbeat Magazine.

As an in-demand, solo live composer/improviser in the world of modern dance, Tim has co-created alongside master choreographers at Princeton University, American Dance Festival/Duke University, and formerly at the University of the Arts for over 20 years. He has composed and performed with a diverse array of extraordinary choreographers worldwide including Faustin Linyekula, Curt Haworth, Peggy Baker, Shoko Kashima, Chico Katsube, Olivier Tarpaga, Sean Feldman, Won Kim, Sung-im Her, Raphael Xavier, and Manfred Fischbeck, among others. With Olivier Tarpaga, he created an original score for the Limon Dance Company premiere “Only One Will Rise” which was presented at the Joyce Theatre in NYC and Jacobs Pillow. According to the New York Times, “The music — an Afropop stew of percussion, bass and psychedelic guitar by Tarpaga and Tim Motzer — is played live. Never before has a Limón show been this funky.”

For the past 25 years, Tim has brought his dynamic, eclectic array of musical projects together under his own 1k Recording’s imprint, which has over 70 releases and counting. His compositions, recordings, and productions include wide ranging genre-defying solo releases and adventurous collaborations spanning experimental, progressive, acoustic, Afterelectronic, songs, and beyond.  “A catalog of music that is as unique as it is unpredictable.”(WXPN-FM)

A CALL FOR ARTIST SUPPORT!
On the eve of our European tour.
URSULA RUCKER + TIM MOTZER BEGIN ANEW TOUR 2024 EUROPE
Greeting Friends,
On the eve of our European tour, with poet Ursula Rucker, I am reaching out for some help to offset tour costs and expenses for pre-production & rehearsals, tour travel expenses, airline overweight charges, and a brand new much-needed guitar case for my acoustic-electric.We are so excited for this important and much anticipated European tour. It’s been a long time coming. We can’t wait to come back to Europe after 12 years and continue our important work there. Your support will greatly help us with the days leading up to our tour and during. Whatever you can spare would make a huge difference. My goal is to reach $1500 or more. This will help us so much as a petty cash for expenses before and during our tour days. Thank you.
We leave on October 9th with dates in Lisboa, Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Rotterdam.

October 11 Music Box, LISBOA
October 14 Porgy & Bess, VIENNA
October 16 Gretchen Club, BERLIN
October 17 MOJO, HAMBURG
October 19 Lab Grounds, ROTTERDAM

“From the moment that Ursula Rucker and Tim Motzer first unified their singular magical words-and-music efforts on the historic stages of Philly’s Tower Theater, opening for the legendarily conscious Nina Simone, all bets have been thrown off the table. Whether appearing within the intimate confines of a duet setting or something broader (but no less intrinsic and interpersonal), the divine cacophonous wordsmith and the clamorous textural guitarist have created tactile, co-joined waves of nuance and noise, of beauty, sex, strife and solace. Alone they are epic. Together, Rucker and Motzer are crucial, an emotional, intergalactic soulful soundscape too rare and too
righteous to miss.” – A.D. Amorosi

We hope to see you at one of our shows. Please spread the word!!

PAKT ON TOUR – PRE-ORDER LIMITED EDITION FAN CD, SIGNED of 100!

PAKT FEATURING
PERCY JONES, ALEX SKOLNICK, KENNY GROHOWSKI, TIM MOTZER

ALL PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT PAKT TOUR EXPENSES

Greetings PAKT FRIENDS!
We’ll be recording our shows during our UPCOMING PAKT Tour August 26th – September 7, 2024, including Sellersville, Asheville, Raleigh, ProgDay, and ProgStock Festivals— and are offering a SPECIAL LIMITED FAN EDITION CD from MoonJune. The disc will be a BEST OF from this tour 1-2 songs per show from various concerts along the way. All CDs will be signed by the band (Percy, Alex, Kenny, Tim) and the limited edition of 100 only will include YOUR NAME in the packaging for acting as executive producer.

This PRE-SALE will help us offset some tour costs, mainly van rental, but also hotels and road expenses which for us will be around $600+ per day. Our last tour in the West Coast, even with Merch sales, was offset by heroic financial efforts by Leonardo at MoonJune Records, but this time we won’t have his help. Thank you so much for your totally crucial support at this time. Things are just so expensive these days, and as you’ve surely heard from many bands around the internet, today’s high costs make touring for independent artists very difficult if not impossible. So anything you can contribute to the cause will be so helpful and forever appreciated! Thank you immensely for your continued support! – Percy, Alex, Kenny, Tim

PAKT, a true super group of master musicians merging & colliding new music in the realms of progressive rock, electric jazz, experimental, ambient, psychedelic and beyond, is an experience as much as a musical project—an IMAX film for the ears!

CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT

David Torn solo +
(Blade Of) Carlstedt Motzer Torn
THIS Friday 7/19
TICKETS:  www.mystrandtheater.org/events/2024/7/19/blade-of-wsg-opener-david-torn-solo-guitar-looping-master

FRIDAY JULY 19 Doors 7pm
David is on at 8pm followed by Blade Of.
The Strand Theatre in Hudson Falls NY. 
CD signing immediately following the show.

For those of you on the East Coast, a double bill not to be missed. Take a little trip and find us. See you there!

David’s history as a legendary guitarist on ECM records, and working with folks like David Bowie, David Sylvian, Tim Berne, Bill Bruford, Jan Garbarek, Don Cherry, Ryuichi Sakamoto, etc is well known, including his work as a film composer—Carlstedt’s time with legendary jazz drummer Chico Hamilton, and Motzer’s work with David Sylvian, Jaki Liebezeit, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Percy Jones (PAKT), Ursula Rucker, Les Nubians, and others, as well as his decades of releases on 1k Recordings tell the tale. The band’s chemistry is incredible.

This new project BLADE OF follows a forward arch in creative improvisation and composition in the moment with an orchestral stew of sonics and rhythms springing forth from this brilliant band of players. Blade Of is presenting their debut album THE FLOWERING AM on 1k Recordings.

CD/DL  1krecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-flowering-am

“Collectively, Torn, Motzer, and Carlstedt create a cinema of the interior in which the attentive listener is enclosed. Narratives twist back in on themselves in an instant, spiking into unseen spaces. Their soundtrack is as loud as mountain thunder, as quick as a precious thought through thin air.” Sid Smith

We look forward to seeing you!

Bill Bruford interviewed by Anil Prasad
On the occasion of distinguished music journalist Anil Prasad interviewing maestro Bill Bruford on stage at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside PA on June 30th. Fantastic stories and dialogues. Such a pleasure to be there, and thrilled to hang out with these two gentlemen. (L-R: Anil Prasad, Bill Bruford, Tim Motzer) Photos by Kare.
It was indeed amazing to say hello and have a brief chat with legendary British drummer Bill Bruford at the Keswick.  Bill is one of my favorite drummers/musos of all time. His invention with early Yes, King Crimson, UK, Chris Squire, Genesis, David Torn, & Earthworks to name a few, still hits the high mark. He’s inspired a world full of musicians and listeners alike! What an impact. Such an honor and pleasure. I shared with him a few releases including Blade Of and PAKT – No Steps Left to Trace. I interviewed Bill in the 90’s for his then 2nd Earthworks tour. I will make that audio available sometime soon on my You Tube channel. (L to R, Bill Bruford, Tim Motzer)

Latest 1k Release: THE STREAM 
Doug Hirlinger / Tim Motzer – The Stream (1k070)
Drummer Doug Hirlinger and guitarist Tim Motzer have been exploring and playing together for 25 years and released their first recording in 2009: Base3 – No Time For Silence along with bassist Barry Meehan. They’ve collaborated and recorded at 1k on the albums Descending with Markus Reuter; the recent trio of Swana, Motzer, Hirlinger entitled Channels; and as a duo on Unseen Universe in 2016. They’ve played live in many adventurous settings and alignments.
Back in May of 2023, the duo began getting together to play regularly in the 1k studio to document what was currently happening. The Stream is the recorded result, with stream of consciousness improvisations pushing boundaries and sounds further into new language. It is indeed exciting to listen to the unfolding motion as Motzer’s instinctive guitar & electronic abstractions plus Hirlinger’s dynamism in rhythm, polymetrics, nuance, and propulsion on the drums leads to striking new musical territories. Deep listening between the players is obviously stirring the daring interplay in this supersonic percussive long-form odyssey. Take the ride. Headphones recommended.Doug Hirlinger – drums
Tim Motzer – electric guitar, micro-looping, electronics

David’s history as a legendary guitarist on ECM records, and working with folks like David Bowie, David Sylvian, Tim Berne, Bill Bruford, Jan Garbarek, Don Cherry, Ryuichi Sakamoto, etc is well known, including his work as a film composer—Carlstedt’s time with legendary jazz drummer Chico Hamilton, and Motzer’s work with David Sylvian, Jaki Liebezeit, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Percy Jones (PAKT), Ursula Rucker, Les Nubians, and others, as well as his decades of releases on 1k Recordings tell the tale. The band’s chemistry is incredible.

This new project BLADE OF follows a forward arch in creative improvisation and composition in the moment with an orchestral stew of sonics and rhythms springing forth from this brilliant band of players. Blade Of is presenting their debut album THE FLOWERING AM on 1k Recordings.

“Collectively, Torn, Motzer, and Carlstedt create a cinema of the interior in which the attentive listener is enclosed. Narratives twist back in on themselves in an instant, spiking into unseen spaces. Their soundtrack is as loud as mountain thunder, as quick as a precious thought through thin air.” Sid Smith

We look forward to seeing you!
European Tour Announcement:
Ursula Rucker & Tim Motzer Begin Anew Tour 2024

“From the moment that Ursula Rucker and Tim Motzer first unified their singular magical words-and-music efforts on the historic stages of Philly’s Tower Theater, opening for the legendarily conscious Nina Simone, all bets have been thrown off the table. Whether appearing within the intimate confines of a duet setting or something broader (but no less intrinsic and interpersonal), the divine cacophonous wordsmith and the clamorous textural guitarist have created tactile, co-joined waves of nuance and noise, of beauty, sex, strife and solace. Alone they are epic. Together, Rucker and Motzer are crucial, an emotional, intergalactic soulful soundscape too rare and too righteous to miss.”  A.D. Amorosi

To all our Europa friends, mark your calendars and grab your tickets! We can’t wait to see you in October!
Bill Bruford interviewed by Anil Prasad
On the occasion of distinguished music journalist Anil Prasad interviewing maestro Bill Bruford on stage at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside PA on June 30th. Fantastic stories and dialogues. Such a pleasure to be there, and thrilled to hang out with these two gentlemen. (L-R: Anil Prasad, Bill Bruford, Tim Motzer) Photos by Kare.
It was indeed amazing to say hello and have a brief chat with legendary British drummer Bill Bruford at the Keswick.  Bill is one of my favorite drummers/musos of all time. His invention with early Yes, King Crimson, UK, Chris Squire, Genesis, David Torn, & Earthworks to name a few, still hits the high mark. He’s inspired a world full of musicians and listeners alike! What an impact. Such an honor and pleasure. I shared with him a few releases including Blade Of and PAKT – No Steps Left to Trace. I interviewed Bill in the 90’s for his then 2nd Earthworks tour. I will make that audio available sometime soon on my You Tube channel. (L to R, Bill Bruford, Tim Motzer)

Latest 1k Release: THE STREAM 
Doug Hirlinger / Tim Motzer – The Stream (1k070)
Drummer Doug Hirlinger and guitarist Tim Motzer have been exploring and playing together for 25 years and released their first recording in 2009: Base3 – No Time For Silence along with bassist Barry Meehan. They’ve collaborated and recorded at 1k on the albums Descending with Markus Reuter; the recent trio of Swana, Motzer, Hirlinger entitled Channels; and as a duo on Unseen Universe in 2016. They’ve played live in many adventurous settings and alignments.
Back in May of 2023, the duo began getting together to play regularly in the 1k studio to document what was currently happening. The Stream is the recorded result, with stream of consciousness improvisations pushing boundaries and sounds further into new language. It is indeed exciting to listen to the unfolding motion as Motzer’s instinctive guitar & electronic abstractions plus Hirlinger’s dynamism in rhythm, polymetrics, nuance, and propulsion on the drums leads to striking new musical territories. Deep listening between the players is obviously stirring the daring interplay in this supersonic percussive long-form odyssey. Take the ride. Headphones recommended.Doug Hirlinger – drums
Tim Motzer – electric guitar, micro-looping, electronics
