Get Ready for Some Mystical Improv & 60s-flavored Rock That Flirts With
Psychosis, Featuring Odd Chords & Odder Lyrics
Tim Mungenast Avant-garde Musician. Improviser. Rocker.
I’m Tim Mungenast, a surrealist guitar shaman with an almost messianic sense of purpose. My current musical adventures include collaborations with Eric Dahlman, Astro Al, Ken Lovelett, Pete Levin, and Gus Mancini.
My psych/improv band Timworld (formerly Tim Mungenast and His Preexisting Conditions, and before that Tim Mungenast and the Righteous Compression) lasted from 1992 to 2014 and may start up again someday. Today I use the word TimWorld as shorthand for all my musical projects.
My Goals
As a band, and especially in our glory days as a power trio (2002 to 2014), we performed mystic transport by gliding between our psych originals to "automatic real-time composition" to some well-chosen covers and back again.
Our mission was to take you on a memorable trip with no chemical enhancements necessary.
Today I strive to achieve that same goal in all my musical projects.
