"Tim Barnes is a storied drummer, engineer and producer whose CV encompasses collaborations with a serious who's-who of late 20th and early 21st century music. Most well known as one of the two drummers (alongside Glenn Kotche) on Jim O'Rourke's seminal late '90s and early 2000s recordings, Tim has recorded, performed and collaborated with Tony Conrad, Faust, Alan Licht, P.G. Six, Silver Jews, Sonic Youth, Stereolab, The Tower Recordings, Ken Vandermark, Wilco, John Zorn, and countless other artists working at the forward edge of improvised and experimental music. For many years he was the proprietor of the boutique Quakebasket label, which documented much of this music, as well as reissuing seminal works by Angus MacLise, the original drummer for the Velvet Underground. Now, the Quakebasket imprint has been revived to issue music Tim has recorded over the last several years with collaborators from throughout his music career. In 2021, Tim was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at the age of 54, and he and his family went public with this immediately. The response from Tim's network of friends and musical peers was overwhelming, but the lingering shutdown meant only remote and long-distance interactions were possible. Beginning in late 2021, a large body of recordings coordinated and assembled by Tim's longtime friend Ken (Bundy) Brown, with whom Tim had worked in the past as a member of the group Pullman, early pioneers of the new Americana movement in the indie scene of the late '90s. Lost Words features the playing of Joshua Abrams, Ken Brown, David Daneill, Darin Gray, David Grubbs, Glenn Kotche, Tara Jane O'Neil, Jim O'Rourke, Ken Vandermark and Britt Walford. Alongside its companion album, Noumena, Lost Words represents the culmination of years of work and demonstrates Tim's infectious energy and depth as a percussionist across a broad sweep of styles."

"Numena is the second volume of music capturing percussionist Tim Barnes in a variety of collaborative settings recorded in extraordinary circumstances over the past few years. Tim is a storied drummer, engineer and producer whose CV encompasses collaborations with a who's who of late 20th and early 21st century music. He has recorded, performed and collaborated with countless artists, including Tony Conrad, Faust, Alan Licht, Jim O'Rourke, P.G. Six, Silver Jews, Sonic Youth, Stereolab, The Tower Recordings, Ken Vandermark, Wilco, John Zorn and many others. Through 2014, he was the proprietor of the boutique Quakebasket label, which documented a variety of projects at the forward edge of improvised and experimental music, including Tim's duo with Glenn Kotche, On Fillmore. Now, Quakebasket has been revived to issue Noumena and its companion album, Lost Words. In 2021, Tim was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at the age of 54, and he and his family went public with this immediately. The response from Tim's network of friends and musical peers was overwhelming, and beginning in late 2021, collaborative recordings were undertaken, coordinated and assembled by Tim's longtime friend Ken (Bundy) Brown, with whom Tim had worked in the past as a member of the group Pullman, early pioneers of the new Americana movement in the indie scene of the late '90s. The recordings for Noumena feature the playing of Joshua Abrams, Oren Ambarchi, Ken Brown, John Dieterich, Darin Gray, Glenn Kotche, Robert Carlos Lange, Ro(b)//ert Lundberg, Douglas McCombs, Matt Mehlan, Rob Mazurek, Tara Jane O'Neil, Jim O'Rourke, Chad Taylor, Thollem, Britt Walford and Mike Watt. As with Lost Words, Noumena cuts a dramatic swath through a sweep of music styles, all of which are deepened by Tim's versatile, intensely stimulated percussive feel."

"Volume 3 of Quakebasket's Angus MacLise series. At this point, you probably sleep a little better having been exposed to the obvert psychedelia and commune-esque bump and grind of Angus' previous releases. Well, here is an exploration into the genius of Angus MacLise that will throw you back into that insomniatic haze you truly enjoy. There are no large ensemble of New York's who's who here. Instead, the focus is just on Angus and his compositions, some of which are the last things he ever recorded. Even though there is a piece for hand drum and prepared tape on this record, this is not an Angus drum record. In the 70's, Angus' interest in tape music, noise, and the extreme gradualisms of music had reached its appex, and these pieces were born. Nowhere else will you hear Angus shredding apart the circuits of an Arp synthesizer, or the powerful undertow of his shimmering organ waves."
