Timothy Murray began his professional music career in 1973 when he joined a house rock band while attending the University of Nebraska. The band, “Red Pony”, soon caught the eye of a booking agent. Tim dropped out as a Junior and the band toured across the country for almost 3 years. In 1975 “Red Pony” recorded an album with Artco Records. Notable gigs were concerts warming up “Kansas” …and also “The Monkees”. When the band broke up in 1976 Tim returned home to Omaha where he spent lots of time composing at the piano and studying music. Performing continued in a local commercial rock band called “The US Kids”.

Wanting more opportunity Tim in 1979 move to Minneapolis (just as Prince was emerging) to join Boyd Hunt Enterprises, a music production company where he played in experimental studio bands. Having developed his chops and accumulated a quality keyboard rig Tim left to play in public again in 1982 with the most talented group so far called “Pulse”; tackling challenging progressive songs (i.e Kansas, Yes, ELP, etc.) along with three Murray originals. An apex of stage performance goals had been experienced with that band. It was then time to get a REAL JOB and concentrate on composing and recording.

A Brown Institute certification lead to a career as a Computer Mainframe Operator in 1985. About that time MIDI synthesizers and affordable computer sequencers were emerging. Frustrated with the dependency on other people and their varying commitment and talent levels Tim decided to do all the instruments himself. Hence, after a lot of work developing the craft and building a home studio, “Field Of View/The Zoa Factor” was completed and pressed in 1998.

In 2006 Tim''s IT Department and his operations analyst job was outsourced to India by IBM. However, the future looks interesting. A healthy portfolio allowed retirement at age 53 along with a new Korg OASYS-88 workstation.

As a growing self-taught student of classical sonata form Timothy Murray is hopeful for more albums...now exclusively instrumental.
… maybe a movie or TV theme…

…..and playing on stage again.............with humans.
