The motivation for this album is usually winter. All my creative energies come out when I am alone in my warm studio while the weather outside is particularly bad: cold rain, clouds, nothing of interest. Joy, love and sadness all contribute. It seems all my songs written during the previous year demand to be completed.

I am also motivated by well-made films, particularly foreign films. Films that are unusual, bold, creative with twists you did not expect, almost unbearable sadness, indescribable joy and entrancing acting by unknown actors with whom you fall in love.

Books also captivate me as does travel. My dreams captivate me. I hear (and see) wonderful music. Time and place are transposed. And finally people I meet who are so genuine I would follow them anywhere.

Ranging from beautifully dreamy Celtic songs to more energetic tunes, this album is for engaged listening, traveling or just kicking back.

Running Away is Timothy’s seventh album, comprising twelve tracks of beautiful music ranging from soft and Celtic to more energetic themes. The genre is not just New Age, but rather encompasses Celtic, Americana and Contemporary Instrumental.

Although ideal for meditation and background music, it is meant to be an interactive album. Thus it engages and opens the mind and spirit to different feelings and visions with each song. Listeners have also said that Timothy’s albums are perfect for traveling, especially in cars or trains, offering the ideal soundtrack for each new scene.

Timothy’s previous album What We Hold Dear was nominated for the coveted Best Contemporary Instrumental Album by the Zone Music Reporter, based on a world-wide vote of radio programmers. His previous albums have consistently reached the monthly top ten by a survey of these same programmers.

The album features iconic percussionist Jeff Haynes, widely-acclaimed English Horn player Jill Haley and rising-star violinist Josie Quick. Grammy Award winning producer Corin Nelsen co-produced and mastered the album, recorded English Horn and oboe, and mixed the percussion.

Twelve contemporary instrumental songs that nourish the heart and touch the soul, ranging from beautifully haunting to decidedly upbeat.

What DO we hold dear? Composer and instrumentalist Timothy Wenzel offers some of his own feelings, in the form of twelve instrumental pieces that explore themes such as those whom we love, nature, the magic of the unknown and unexpected, dreams and imagination. Ranging from deeply introspective to playful, these songs can truly touch your soul. Reviewer RJ Lannan (Zone Music Reporter) said Timothy’s first album, Mountains Take Wing “is twelve tracks of Nordic/Celtic music that allows the listeners to climb to the apex, take the cold chill of despair away and allows our minds to journey far and beyond the limits of the physical.” What We Hold Dear is Timothy’s sixth solo album. With guest artists Josie Quick (violin), Jordan Schug (cello) and Sarah Joerz (vocals). Mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Corin Nelsen.

Beautifully dark at times, a soft blend of pop and Americana with stunning vocals.

Timothy Wenzel is an accomplished keyboard artist and prolific songwriter with five albums of instrumental New Age music to his credit. This new collaboration with extraordinary singer Anne Cozean pushes the boundary to include, for the first time, lyrics and vocals. Two songs have previously been published as instrumental versions: Such A Long Time and Christopher's Dreams.

The duo of Wenzel and Cozean dates back a number of years, collaborating for fun and for the challenge. Now these songs are available for the first time on standard distribution channels.

Such A Long Time is a song inspired by Ophelia and Hamlet. Lyrics were written by both Timothy and Anne.

This Man of Mine was inspired by an unforgettable experience of Timothy's: "A spring storm had blown through the high mountains of West Virginia, leaving in its wake a living and vibrant landscape, brilliantly lit by the sun. The forests were a thin haze of green and the red buds and wild flowers were ablaze with color. Driving on a back road through this verdant countryside, I came across a cemetery with a freshly closed grave. Beside it kneeled a young woman, weeping openly. I will never forget this. This song is dedicated to her - I hope she has found peace and happiness."

Icarus is a powerful and rebellious twist on the original legend, with love inspiring a new ending.

Falling is somewhat dark, with expressive and emotional lyrics that touch the heart.

Christopher's Dreams is a lighthearted and delightful seasonal song about the magic of dreams.

Dreamy, relaxing and highly melodic instrumental music that touches the soul.

The fifth release of composer and keyboardist Timothy Wenzel features guest violinist Josie Quick. Comprising twelve instrumental selections, the album Distant Horseman is a spiritual and seasonal journey. It begins with introspective and hauntingly beautiful songs such as the Appalachian-tinged A Bend in the River and the Celtic-influenced title song, Distant Horseman. A Night So Cold continues the winter theme, having been actually written on a such a night. The emotional turning point comes with Forgiven, a deeply-inspired orchestral revelation, which leads into the joyful and spring-like Colors Dancing. A series of three love songs follow, including the charming Ecstasy Eyes and the lively 3/4-time Summer’s Dance. Luminous Wake, Starlit Sea is the lilting and joyous finale.

"...haunting, relaxing, refreshing and catchy, once again showcasing the talent of this leading new age composer..." - Janet Mawdesley

The fourth album in the series, Summon the Wind expands the breadth of styles heard on his previous three albums: Mountains Take Wing, A Coalescence of Dreams and River Serene. Ranging from the deeply Celtic songs Mariner's Lament and Peace to My Lady to the more lively Elven Dance and Tesla's Dream, this journey covers more compositional styles than ever before. Retained, however, is the penchant for memorable melodies and thoughtful themes. Mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Corin Nelsen. From RJ Lannon (Zone Music Reporter review of Mountains Take Wing): "His album, Mountains Take Wing, is twelve tracks of Nordic/Celtic music that allows the listeners to climb to the apex, take the cold chill of despair away and allows our minds to journey far and beyond the limits of the physical... This is my first encounter with Timothy Wenzel and I like it. His music is gentle, but there is a quiet power behind his compositions. It made me want to hear much more from this audio alchemist. Perhaps he will change more notes into gold."

From BlueWolf Reviews (River Serene): "...As you drift though the music there is the distinct feeing of a man at peace, at one with his music: the notes flowing from his fingers through the medium of the keyboard. Fascinating, evocative, drifting to the level where it becomes difficult to separate the creator from the music – all is one, one is all.

Using the river as a metaphor for life, that of a stream or force constantly moving onward, his new creation reflects so much more about the man involved in the creation of the music than ever before. Captured is a sense of peace, of harmony in his surrounding and the mellow almost hypnotic essence of the timelessness of the river, ever flowing onward to the sea. Each piece has been composed with a specific emotion in mind: that of freedom of spirit, love, joy, reflection and intimacy and each will appeal in the same manner. The music wraps around you as if in a dream, soft and silken to the touch but always transitory, illusive and mysterious."

In Timothy Wenzel’s latest album he combines many of his life philosophies blended with his dream state to create music which woos’ you gently into time and space which is without borders.

Rich and deep with gentle overtones the album is a bit like biting into that mouth-watering piece of chocolate cake discovering hidden flavours as the taste meets the texture within.

The melodies are haunting yet structured as in the dream state, tantalising and evocative and as subtle as that half formed thought or emotion.

Many of the pieces have their origins in historic events or times and places, coupled with a symbiotic fusion of technology and mysticism which can also be considered the music form of what Wenzel considers important in life. A little dreaming, a little science and a contemplative understanding of mystic which goes to creating the melting pot of life are all interwoven throughout the album.

Relaxing, peaceful and as with many creative albums Coalescence of Dreams improves with the listening as each piece becomes a collection of textures and layers relative unto each composition, creating a unique listening sensation every time. January 26, 2013 Chris Spector - Midwest Record

A Coalescence of Dreams

Even though it's not applicable to his music, someone ought to tell this kid not to say things like he gets most of his ideas when he's falling asleep. There's too many snipers ready to take that and run with it when presented with a NAC/new age album they didn't really listen to. If you really listen to this, you get a solid impressionistic/soundscape set that might well be the intersection of dreams. His thesis behind this set is actually a good premise for a touchy feely movie by some actor doing his one for me picture. As much Yes-lite as it is Yanni, there's a nice flowering here continuing to blossom as he releases each new set. Tasty stuff for the new ager looking for something with bite he can sink his teeth into as well. January 31, 2013 SandiPorter - Greatmusicsites.yuko.com

A Coalescence of Dreams TIMOTHY WENZEL CREATES CLASSIC NEW AGE SOUND:

There is a great new CD out by Timothy Wenzel called A COALESCENCE OF DREAMS. Every now and then comes along what I call a traditional new age album with all the right ingredients (albums by Tron Syversen last year come to mind) -- relaxing yet invigorating, soft yet interesting, dreamy and spacey, some lovely melodies and a bit of ambience, lots of great synth and synth-sounds, some acoustic instrumentation such as piano and violin, just a great mix.

The background materials says he is inspired by places all over the world -- Sweden, Hawaii, Africa, Germany, Arabia and the United States (Michigan and the Appalachian Mountains). He likes to turn historical tales into musical sounds.

So jump aboard this train and come along for the ride. This is an absolutely beautiful CD with lots of gentle, yet emotional music on it. This is classic stuff. February 24, 2013 - Ascentor

A Coalescence of Dreams

(translated from Russian by Google)

The feel of the music Timothy Wenzel can be compared to the time when, by chance saw a huge and beautiful picture, feel the breath of delight, as the depth of fabric, its space, as if luring you, immersing in an artist recreated landscape. Timothy scenery - scenery is calm and bright northern summer, this picturesque meadows and high, the morning mist shrouded mountains, it is the endless plains and cold sea, whose waves on the horizon sinks the setting sun. Okoloklassicheskaya romance and New eydzhevaya contemplation keyboards saundtrekovy orchestral background, emotion progrokovoy electric guitar and, most importantly, a voice calling for the flute, which joins a voice like the north wind, inviting the listener to travel in this fictional world in which not only revived the pastoral space but the most cherished dreams - as well start «A Coalescence of Dreams» disturbing the rhythm of their marching song «Ice Wind», promises that lie ahead, such as the magnificent music stops. Some of them, such as «Road to Hana», recreate the poetic spirit of Celtic ballads, others carried away in the circulation of folk music as «Oasis of Souls». Rich orchestration and electronic ambient textured make its reasons in an exquisite pattern Nordic tunes spun by the flute and keyboards, not knowing failure and causing every time something amazing and soulful, making you again wait for the moment when you stay with this music alone. Perhaps visionary «A Coalescence of Dreams» is one of those albums that is difficult to describe, because the author obviously speaks to us in a different language, understandable to anyone who is willing to open the mind and unleash the imagination. Personally, I passed in the company of these tunes for miles into nowhere, breathed fresh air into the old wood and often wandering in the rain along the bed of black river, with great pleasure discovered the beauty and charm of the desert sky. «Desert Sky» - my personal favorite, does not detract from the merits of all the other tracks on this disc. Very beautiful music, the name of Timothy Wenzel, of course, to remember, a tribute to his talent and waiting for new ones, such as the impressive work. February 26, 2013 John Shanahan - Hypnagogue

A Coalescence of Dreams

Carrying the momentum of his well-received debut album, Mountains Take Wing, Timothy Wenzel returns with a fresh set of New Age pieces on A Coalescence of Dreams. While Wenzel’s songs course across fairly broad New Age territory, he plays with the lilt of Celtic music throughout the disc, notably in the pleasant flute melodies in “Follow the River” and “Miles from Nowhere.” The title track is an engaging blend of choral pads and Wenzel’s lyrical piano. This one takes on extra dimension when dulcimer-like tones enter as accompaniment. The long voice of rich string sounds finish the blend. Folksy acoustic guitar opens “The Road to Hana,” quickly joined by strings and piano. The cantering pace is catchy. It’s a traveling tune that sets the foot tapping but also takes a nice emotive turn–there’s something very personal at work here. For me, however, the go-track on this disc is the brilliant ”Mountain Rain.” Opening with acoustic guitar, piano, and string pads, it moves gracefully along, fluid and calm. Then a shift–everything drops out except for hushed choral pads, underscored with a low string sound. It creates a stunning, spiritual moment that gains its strength from its simplicity. That passes, and the guitar and piano resume, joined by flute. This is a wonderful piece that really showcases Wenzel’s multi-instrumental talents. He’s not alone here, however; Michael Rud offers up some soaring edge-of-rock guitar licks in the late half of “Ice Wind,” and Lenny Lavash contributes drums to that track, along with snappy hand percussion on the closer, “We Walk Together.” This track was created in the throes of emotion stemming from Wenzel’s learning of his brother’s incurable cancer. On his site, Wenzel writes, “At around 2 AM I could not stand any more so I went to my keyboard and poured out my soul, every last drop of it. The keyboard was literally wet with tears by the time I finished. Exhausted, I could do no more. I could not even listen to the song again without crying.” It’s a fantastic piece, built on piano and sliding in and out of complexity in its arrangement. It has distinct phases, and is a truly affecting piece of music.

A Coalescence of Dreams is a straightforward New Age disc, beautifully played and designed for downtime listening. It may be too light a take for some, but on the whole it’s easy to enjoy and lovely at low volumes–but do yourself the favor of giving Wenzel’s work a close listen, too. This is a talented composer with a lot to say. New Age fans will want to keep an ear on Timothy Wenzel. February 28, 2013 anonymous - Zone Music Reporter

A Coalescence of Dreams

Pianist and synthesist Timothy Wenzel calls his new album A COALESCENCE OF DREAMS. The dictionary defines coalescence as: uniting, growing or coming together, often in a nourishing way. There are many meanings to the album title, but in a broad sense the concept is about bringing diverse elements together with the right catalysts to create something bigger, stronger, more meaningful, whether it is in music, science, personal goals or relationships.

This is high-quality new age music where you will hear the acoustic sounds of piano, violin, guitar, flute and percussion blended with some electronic elements. The tunes are inspired by stories from history and Wenzel’s travels (from Hawaii to Europe).

This is calming, blissful, multi-layered and creatively-refreshing music on a classic-sounding, all-instrumental album. This is good stuff. Unite with Timothy Wenzel’s music and be nourished (maybe even dream a dream or two together).

A Coalescence of Dreams

Keyboardist Timothy Wenzel is a bit of an alchemist the way he mixes sounds and feelings on his latest album A COALESCENCE OF DREAMS. But beyond his musical work on this wondrous instrumental recording, Wenzel actually is a research chemist who realized his dreams of creating new substances by introducing the right catalysts on the molecular-level to make new forms of plastics for Union Carbide and Dow Chemical. Wow!

The music on this album is soft, gentle and generally relaxing, but the other great attribute it possesses is that it is interesting to listen to -- captivating with its mix of piano, guitar, synth, flute, violin, bass, percussion and strings in variou...

R.J. Lannan (full review, Mountains Take Wing)

Timothy Wenzel wears two hats. One tall and pointy with a lot of stars and planets on it and another one with, well...a lot of stars and planets on it. He is a composer and a chemist, which in this review may be interchangeable. He combines acoustic and other instruments like a modern day musical alchemist which results in very pleasing audio concoctions. On the chemistry side, he is a specialist in homogeneous catalysis. A homogeneous catalysis is a chemical process where the catalyst and the reactants have similar phase. The result makes things happen just as the addition of notes in Timothy's compositions played into the airs makes music happen. I have simplified this theory for my own mental well-being. His album, Mountains Take Wing, is twelve tracks of Nordic/Celtic music that allows the listeners to climb to the apex, take the cold chill of despair away and allows our minds to journey far and beyond the limits of the physical.

Any album that has mountains as a theme usually catches my attention as I live at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Timothy's music finds inspiration from a much higher plane, places to the north that have a long history of mythology and faith. But I still understand his intentions.

Birka , was, historically a gate to the northern access of the Vikings. All that wanted to trade visited Birka on the island of Bjorko and paid dues and made contacts. But it was also an island of mystery and religious fervor. Timothy's tune Birka which opens the album, is a song that is welcoming. Piano and violin flow in a tune that audibly smiles at you, but there is a story behind every smile.

Snow Falling Softly is something I know about. One of my favorites things to do is to gaze out the window and watch as snow falls and covers everything with a clean, white coverlet. Even though I am familiar with every tree and every peak in the distance, I am always amazed at how everything quickly becomes an outline. Even things that are not as enjoyable in sunlight become something soft, white and amazing. It is magical I tell you.

Fallow Fields had tremendous Celtic overtones. I could imagine the rutted earth as far as my eye could see. I could picture the brown, bent stalks of the past harvest the stood like broken lines of soldiers in a unearthly battle. The cold wind blows and rattles the stalks as the earth finally rests.

The sandhill crane is a migratory beauty that calls North America and Siberia as its home. Flight of the Sandhill Cranes is background music for a journey that takes us up into the tundra and vast expanses of the cold, northern climes. But for all its range, no characteristic of the sandhill crane is as beautiful as its trumpeting call. Its avian music is haunting; a cry of earthly melancholy that delights the listener as does this particular tune.

Christopher's Dream was a favorite on the album. It had the presence of a Renaissance rondo without the repetition. The flute was a strong conductor as the fantasy unfolded with a background of warmth and whimsy. The feel was as if a character, a young person to be exact, went about an old world bazaar and became delighted with each new discovery of character or talent. The music was the eye opening smiles of each new encounter.

Soft piano builds in the tune Mountains Take Wing. It is a song of strength and glory. Yes, a mountain is just a fold of earth and rock jutting up to the sky, but what mystery, what power does the lofty mount hold? A place of trees, ice and snow and craggy buttresses is one of the most common things revered in many religious and histories. Everything and anything happens on a mountain. Moreover, mountains have always been a spiritual place. What? You think people climb Mount Everest for the view?

This is my first encounter with Timothy Wenzel and I like it. His music is gentle, but there is a quiet power behind his compositions. It made me want to hear much more from this audio alchemist. Perhaps he will change more notes into gold.

I love New Age music and this CD does not disappoint at all. There are 12 tracks and each one takes the listener on a journey that comforts and soothes the soul. All the music is full of beautiful instruments including violin and cello. There is also some electronic sounds but all are very harmonious. There are no "minor" or dark notes in this CD. I have bought other New Age CDs that have had rather brash, dark tones in the music that made me irritable rather than bringing joy. This CD brings a smile to my face each time I listen. I put it on my car stereo and it helps me get through long traffic filled drives on the Beltway around Baltimore. This is easy listening at its best. March 19, 2012 C. Massena - Amazon.com

This CD is a delightful find. The songs are all peaceful and ethereal (which I love). There is a similarity to all of the songs which could sound a bit monochromatic but there's enough variation and creativity to keep my interest. I especially love Christopher's Dreams and Flight of the Sandhill Crane. February 13, 2013 Janet Mawdesley - Blue Wolf Reviews
