Biography
Timothy Wenzel was born in South Haven Michigan in the United States in 1955 and started studying piano under an accomplished teacher at the age of five years old. His musical style while a student in high school and college was and odd fusion of Rock and Roll with Classical and he frequently performed for friends or informal gatherings. In college and graduate school he studied chemistry, obtaining his PhD from Cornell University in 1983. After post-doctoral work at the University of California at Berkeley he began full time work as a research chemist in a major chemical company.
Despite the difficulties of graduate school, he always had a piano, or had access to one. A friend would record his finished works on a reel-to-reel tape recorder but none of these works are available to the public as of yet. Not until 1995 did he begin recording his work again, using newly-available multi-track recording software and electronic keyboards. As computer and keyboard technology progressed, his work began to incorporate the instruments of a new genre that fascinated him: New Age music, especially that which is Celtic influenced. Early influences include Enya, Clannad, Lorenna McKennitt as well as more pop-oriented artists such as U2 and Evanescence.
He released his first CD in March of 2012 titled "Mountains Take Wing" under the CD Baby label. It contains carefully selected, digitally-mastered songs from a large collection of music composed since 2007. A second CD is anticipated by early 2013.
