Time Rival is the ambient music project of Illinois native Michael Southard. At a young age, Michael became interested in music production and recording engineering, creating countless albums of esoteric, cross-genre music. He earned a bachelor's degree in music business from Southern Illinois University in 2007 and has continued honing his production and songwriting skills.
The music of Time Rival is ambient in nature and has been described as music for dreaming". Mostly piano and synthesizers heavily affected by computer wizardry, with occasional organic rhythms, electroacoustic ear candy. It's generally warm and pleasant with tiny hints of tension. Music to help the listener decompress and provoke deep thought in this digital age.
Michael also creates technical, beat driven electronic music under the name Supply Fi, is one half of the duo Amberglow, and collaborates regularly with Running in Slow Motion and Belial Pelegrim. he is CEO and chief mastering engineer for Triplicate Records, runs a monthly radio show on Threads Radio called TRIP FM, and is currently working on music for the upcoming Piano Day.
