Tim Burness.

Tim Burness established himself musically with his band Burnessence, playing a part in the new wave of British progressive rock from 1983 to 1986. During that time the band toured regularly and released two albums through Nuclear Records. Soon after moving to Brighton (England) in 1990, Tim achieved national radio airplay from Tommy Vance and others in England with "Learning To Fly c/w Mumbling In The House Of Commons", a solo single from the "Power In Your Hands" album on his own label. Tim continued to gig and record throughout the nineties, releasing a mini-album "Infinite Ocean" in 1997 and contributing to albums by the successful ambient group Tuu.
In 2004 Tim released "Finding New Ways To Love" on his own Expanding Consciousness label, his most substantial release to date. This was the first album to gain significant international land and internet radio play across America, Europe and the rest of the world.
