Over their 19-year career, Tim Gane has changed the parameters of British pop, rock and electronics with his Farfisa-fuelled wizardry and kosmische high jinx.  As a key member of experimental band s Stereolab and McCarthy, and more recently as a filmscore composer and founder of the expansive electronic trio Cavern of Anti-Matter, Tim has restlessly pushed his understand ing of musical form. Through Stereolab, he opened his ears to French chanson, krautrock, avant-pop and electronica, consistently producing albums to feed both the head and the heart. He’s now fully focused on Cavern of Anti-Matter, along with Stereolab drummer Joe Dilworth and synth wizard Holger Zapf, the magic continues.
