Written-By - Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Van Dyke Parks Souster initiated his relationship with electronic music back in 1964 in the summer electronic music school at Darmstadt with Karlheinz Stockhausen. In August 1969 he moved to Cambridge as composer-in-residence at King's College, where with Roger Smalley he formed the live-electronic group, Intermodulation. The other members were Robin Thompson and Andrew Powell, the latter being succeeded by Peter Britton in the autumn of 1970. Over the next six years Intermodulation toured widely in the UK, West Germany, Poland, France and Iran, playing a broad range of live-electronic compositions, in particular those written specially for the group by Souster and Smalley, but also works of Cornelius Cardew, Terry Riley, Frederick Rzewski, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Christian Wolff. In autumn 1971 Souster moved to Cologne to become teaching assistant to Stockhausen at the State Music High School, and at the end of 1973 moved on to Berlin as composer-in-residence in the West Berlin Artists' Programme (DAAD).. The years in Germany were followed in 1975 by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship at Keele University, where he was responsible for creating the electronic music studio. There he also established a new performing group, OdB, with Peter Britton and Tony Greenwood. On his return to England, Souster became once again fully freelance as a composer and set up his own electronic studio in Cambridge in 1980. From this time on he became increasingly involved in writing music for film and television.
Tim Souster was a contemporary with early electronic music composers, like the founders of musique concrete Pierre Schaeffer & Pierre Henry, also Paul Boisselet, Rune Lindblad, Herbert Eimert, Henk Badings and Dick Raaijmakers, Tom Dissevelt, Vladimir Ussachevsky and of course Luciano Berio, Otto Luening, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis and John Cage. One of the very few english composers into electronic music among Ron Geesin, Gilles Swayne, Dennis Smalley. Other composers in the same style could be Bernard Parmegiani, Tod Dockstader, Alvin Curran, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Toru Takemitsu, Giacinto Scelsi, Jon Appleton and Micheline Coulombe-Saint-Marcoux.
