This 9-track release comprises a new approach to his guitar playing (finger style playing), gleaned from his love of American composer and guitarist Michael Hedges. The album title is inspired by author Robert Anton Wilson\u2019s \u2018Maybe Logic\u2019.<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018Maybe Magic\u2019 brings together songs written between 2019 and 2021 when Tim discovered Discordianism \u2013 an idea that both order and disorder are illusions imposed on the universe by the human nervous system. These ideas took root at the end of 2019 during Tim\u2019s collaboration with alternative theatre group \u2018The Mycelium\u2019 &#8211; a British female-led production company spanning decades of alternative and DIY culture.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1574737579\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/timarnold.bandcamp.com\/album\/maybe-magic-2022\">Maybe Magic (2022) by Tim Arnold<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After receiving a ground-breaking book on Michael Hedges\u2019 finger style guitar playing \u2018Rhythm, Sonority, Silence\u2019 by Hedges\u2019 collaborator John Stropes, Tim set about relearning everything he knew about the acoustic guitar and began work on the album. His time was spent learning the new guitar tunings, whilst simultaneously painting the album cover in the room next door, as<span class=\"bcTruncateMore\">\u00a0audiobooks of Robert Anton Wilson\u2019s Cosmic Trigger and Alan Watts blasted out of the stereo. The album artwork was inspired by one of Tim\u2019s dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After applying gold leaf and gouache, Tim would pause the audiobooks and record a new song while each new layer of paint would dry. This process continued between the two rooms over the first 3 weeks of 2021 until both the album and the painting were completed.<\/p>\n<p>Tim\u2019s revisits a musical style in Hedges\u2019 inimitable harmonic structure Tim first heard as a boy, at the same time as learning to paint again.<\/p>\n<p>What \u2018Maybe Magic\u2019 sets out is the first album Tim has released without anticipating any outside thoughts about the music and without any intention to release it publicly. He decided to release it whilst his multimedia album\/film project Super Connected is on hold.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1501842717886{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_accordion active_tab=&#8221;false&#8221; collapsible=&#8221;yes&#8221; title_size=&#8221;normal&#8221; title=&#8221;Tracks and Lyrics&#8221;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;1.
