Horse Macgyver

Horse MacGyver is the nonsense moniker of Naarm/Melbourne based media artist, sound designer, and musician Timothy Dwyer.

Rewiring the expansive nest of electronic music’s form and function through multi era-bridging hardware rigs, Dwyer has had his compositional works described by The Wire magazine as “a missing link between a certain 1990’s tendency and the present… But Dwyer updates it with the no less twitchy pathology evident in current producers…” – November 2019 (Issue 429)

Beginning in Canberra’s divergent house party culture and partially within whatever the words ‘witch house’ came to mean, his decades long evolution as a musician has seemingly navigated beyond trends or genre while being a constant light speed processing of them. With works released on labels such as !K7 (GER), Disaro (USA), No Patience Records, Nice Music, and Moontown Tapes, his recordings, performances and live video works exist as an alchemical wash of rupture and play.

While an unhinged menace hovers at the edge of his media works and compositions, there is still an articulate, emotive and ultimately playful core powering the twisted rhythmic figures and melodies found within Horse MacGyver’s output.
