Tim Byrnes

Tim Byrnes is a New York City trumpeter and composer. More recently, he has added synthesizer to his repertoire. He recently started a music project called Hazel-Rah (a reference to Richard Adams's Watership Down). Byrnes is also a graduate of New York University.

Hazel-Rah

More or less a solo act, Hazel-Rah is Byrnes's compositions for guitar, percussion, and synthesizer (specifically his CZ-101). So far, there are only three compositions to speak of: "Good-bye", "Kaleidoscope", and "Ty."

Recordings

Currently, there is only one Hazel-Rah recording, which contains both Hazel-Rah pieces and is for sale on CD-R only. It was recorded and edited by Colin Marston at the famous Queens, New York recording space Menegroth, The Thousand Caves.
