The Story

Tim Exile's face against a Blue Sky

FLOWs lives in the space between a loop player / processor and an interactive album. I came up with the concept in response to the hard drives full of live recordings I made from 2010-2015. I no idea what to do with them. The recordings were full of vibes but had very imperfect mixes which I couldn’t do anything about as they were stereo files. This was before the age of stem separation. So I built FLOWs.
