The Busy Season

Composer Tim Corpus with Script Supervisor Joe Bleadon at the Midwest Film Festival

It’s that time of the year when lot’s is going on! It seems like every other night of the week is some big event or premiere. And while the season continues, more events are coming up like the 3Arts Awards Gala.

Congrats to all the folks during the Best of the Midwest Awards. It was awesome to see so many amazing projects get the recognition they deserve.

This year’s Chicago International Film Festival was fun as always. Industry Days is often some of the best times in town to hang out with old film friends that don’t get to see each other often enough.

I’d like to see Industry Days host more panels with post-audio included.

“Strange Creatures of the Adult Wilderness” had its premiere in October! And now that the premiere has happened each episode is streaming once a week on Wednesdays.

Over the last year I wrote music for the intro as well as a few different episodes. So go check it out!

Jerry Gonzalez’s new film “Spaghetti Man” also had its premiere in October. I was the Foley Artist and helped Jerry design lots of gooey and gross noodly sounds. I don’t often get asked to do sound design work, but when I do it’s so much fun!

Next up in early November is the release of the “Ending the War on my Body” soundtrack. Stay tuned for more about the release. The album was mastered by the great Roy Campanella III.

Tim Corpus is a composer with a genuine lyric impulse. He writes music that is at the same time challenging and appealing - which should be the ideal of any composer. He has a wonderful ear for sound and for shape. This is a composer with a real and important voice.

...`{`Three Pieces for Five Timpani`}` is an outstanding addition to the literature for timpani and great for advanced recital programs.

George Frock Professor Emeritus, The University of Texas

Tim Corpus is a wonderfully skilled composer who has important things to say with his music. His debut album, Breath, is extremely impressive. Beautiful and exciting music to be sure!

Larry Alan Smith Composer

Tim Corpus' music is complex, original and steeped in tradition. His Three Pieces for Five Timpani is clearly an extension of the composers, such as Elliott Carter, that came before him. The pieces are challenging but fulfilling to learn and perform. Possibly the most important thing about Tim's timpani writing is that audiences will enjoy listening to his compositions. He is taking solo timpani writing to the next level.

Ed Harrison Timpanist of the Lyric Opera of Chicago

The melodic gestures in Tim Corpus' masterful piece for strings, ``Breath``, are paced so that a listener’s respiration pattern aligns itself instinctively with the slow and even pulse of the piece. Breath creates a powerful performer/listener symbiosis, a remarkable accomplishment on the part of the composer.

Steven Gryc Composer

Tim Corpus’s music is beautifully lyrical, nicely voiced and technically well-realized. In person, he is a pleasure to work with. We very much enjoyed recording his first two string quartets and hope to see more from him in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of conducting the premiere of First Flight. It is artfully written, fresh, unique, and best of all – a beautiful piece of music! Tim is a major talent with big things in store for his future. It clearly deserves a permanent place in the repertoire of any serious wind ensemble. I can't wait to program it again!

Stephen Squires Conductor, Chicago College of Performing Arts Wind Ensemble

I have worked with Tim Corpus as a performer, composer and teacher. He brings passion and energy to his craft. He is a young lion who is making his mark on the Chicago music scene.

Kevin Miller Retired Band Director, Schaumburg High School

I've had the pleasure of knowing Tim for years now, and I learned very quickly that his passion and talent as a performer and composer are unquestioned. Everything he does is handled with a rare combination of intensity and care, and his works display such attributes. His lyricism in particular, along with his rich, beautiful harmonies and intricate polyphony set him apart from many of his colleagues. In a world littered with simple, non-intellectual music, Tim is breaking through and creating a new, exciting, accessible, and, most importantly, intelligent style of music that is imperative to the future of our art form.

Matt Bronstein Axiom Brass Quintet

Breath is very professionally produced, and the overall impression is of a lyrical and rhapsodic voice. I think Breath is a great starter, very ample and serene, even ecstatic. The second quartet is lively and engaging throughout.
