“Tim Motzer has made some pretty noisy shit...Ursula Rucker and King Britt's Sister Gertrude Morgan CD—not to mention contributions to David Sylvian's Nine Horses and Jaki Liebezeit's Secret Rhythms 2. Yet, on this new solo excursion, this Philadelphian finds solace in silence.
Tilomo, Tim Motzer's guitar/laptop solo project, benefits greatly from the sloe-gin-y liquid soul of his work with Britt—you can hear it in the way his fuzzy jazz-foink chords ooze through the title track. But there's a sputter, beep, whoosh and clink to the proceedings that make it happily irksome and decidedly un-neo-soulful. The sawed, strained string samples of "Blue Samari," the thickly blown wind sounds that trace the development of "Embrace" from autumn chill to winter storm, the cheery tinkling of "Chi Moto"—there are eight million moody stories to be told in this ambient jungle. “
--A.D. Amorosi (City Paper) Philadelphia
“…really interesting textures and rhythms making it as close to Warp-style electronica as to traditional ambient/chillout.” Burning Shed UK
“Soft Lunch is space. Space for consciousness. Sky music.” Enrico Mariani – MovingBox Reggio Emilia, Italy
“Tilomo is baby making music for robots.” King Britt - FiveSix
tilomo
tilomo is the experimental electronic brainchild of Philadelphia guitarist/producer Tim Motzer. He's well known for his astonishing guitar work on the many world tours and recordings with poet Ursula Rucker. As King Britt's production partner, his guitars and music have graced remixes by the Doors, Curtis Mayfield, 4 Hero, George Duke, Everything But The Girl, Dizzy Gillespie, and many others. In 2005, he co-produced the critically acclaimed King Britt presents: Sister Gertrude Morgan on ropeadope records. His multi-culti guitar and compositions are also featured on David Sylvian's Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow--voted best album of the year on numerous European music polls--as well as the Burnt Friedman-Jaki Liebezeit release: Secret Rhythms 2 on nonplace.
Most recently Tim (along with King Britt) has completed music for the upcoming Miami Vice movie starring Jamie Fox and Colin Ferrill.

Not purely ambient and not purely dance-oriented, guitarist Tim Motzer's latest effort, Tilomo is a project that speaks volumes by stating things subtly. Released on his own 1K imprint [a name that may or may not be paying homage to the undisputable kings of subtle click'n'pop, 12K], "Soft Lunch" sees the man turn it down a notch and still come out miles ahead of the competition. For a man who's been involved with projects such as Nine Horses, Ursula Rucker, Burnt Friedman, Jaki Liebezeit and King Britt, Motzer is one busy individual. Here, he shows off a more docile approach to music, where the details make all the difference in the world. Halfway through "Spellbound", he uses what could pass for pan-flutes to induce moments of tranquil glory, while "Gelid" is heavy on percussion - real and manipulated - that moves the piece along in some interesting directions. When they make an appearance, beats are hushed and delicately strung out. "Chi Moto" features just a tinkering beat that is on high-end of the spectrum and features the mandatory soothing triangle. Closing number "After They've Gone" is a droopy, drooling and float-in-space concoction which features the sounds of slide guitar being tuned in and out. Sounds perfects to keep your mind occupied for the voyage into the nether regions of your own consciousness. (Gazeta)

Tilomo's "Soft Lunch" is both jagged and soft, smooth and abrasive. And the sum total is greater than its parts. With the touch of the play button on your CD machine, you are launched into realms beyond moral thought. In this CD, mankind symbolically achieves transcendence. Dark and light, sharp and blunt, smooth and rough - dichotomies merge in a mind-soothing sort of rapture experienced by minds on the fringe. Intelligent and informed by dadaism (at the same time that it seems to be couched in meaning), "Soft Lunch" is an exploration of the beyond, transcendence for the brave.
