Timothy Orr was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1967 and began playing the drums 1976. After playing in several rock bands in the early 80s, he studied with Edward Blackwell from 1985-89 at Wesleyan University where he earned a BA in English, with a concentration in Medieval and Renaissance literature. During this period, Tim played in several rock, punk and grunge bands, warming up for emerging talents like Helmet, Fugazi, and Soul Asylum. Upon graduation Tim performed in several roots music bands in the New England region, performing Cajun, zydeco, bluegrass, Chicago blues. Tim has played with a number local and international artists such as Josh Roseman, Shoko Hitage, Stephen Schwartz, Damon Smith, Josh Allen, Marco Eneidi, Richard Hell, Randy Hunt, Adam Lane, Ike Levin, Tony Malaby and many more. He recently recorded the soundtrack to The Tale of Three Mohammeds, a film by Nasri Zacharia.


Josh Allen has created his own personal language on the tenor saxophone, with an emphasis on polytonal and asymmetrical phrasing, as well as extending the range and sonic ability of the instrument. He does this with constant emphasis and study of the overtone series, and the generation of multiphonics from the application of this process.
