About this original series

A classically schooled musician trained in the Jedi arts of jazz with a jones for electronica, Tim Rideout is equal parts urban chic, small town freak and knob-twiddlin’ geek.Combining live instrumental performance with electronic production techniques, “Mister Rider”creates rich musical hybrids that speak to instrumentalists and DJs alike.With three compact discs to his credit, feature film and television scores, videogame music, and countless appearances as studio drummer, instrumentalist and producer, this Montreal-based artist has his finger in the many pies of North America’s musical smorgasbord.Weaving elements of funky groove, hypnotic ambience, intelligence and humour into his art, Rideout’s seemingly limitless musical palette imbues his recordings and performances with the sonic depth and stylistic originality of one truly impassioned by the creative process.
