“Mister Rider” does a lot of stuff.
He performs live with synths, drums, twiddly boxes and knobby filters. He also composes symphonic music for film and television, writes crazy beats for New Media and videogames and sings country.
Combining live instrumental performance with electronic production techniques, Rideout creates rich musical hybrids that speak to instrumentalists and DJs alike.
A critically acclaimed recording artist, award-winning drummer, Gémeaux-nominated composer and music producer, Tim Rideout is a true Digital Renaissance Man as comfy on drums, microphone and piano as he is accepting his inner DJ DJ Not to be confused with “musician” or “talented artist”; plays music by inserting small hydrocarbon disc in digital player or analog turntable; manipulates sound and media in alledged “performance” of music, often using a laptop or other pre-recorded source; post-millenium equivalent of drugged-out rock star, but cooler and with better drugs; most musicians are envious of the DJ because he actually makes a living while they still deliver pizza or work at the music store; gets more chicks than drummers .
