I'm Tim Ou; Silamm O is the name I use for music. I like moving between the ancient and contemporary silence, and that's where my work sits. Making something every day is a part of the day I love, so I'll keep going. My work runs from neo-classical ambient and string quartet to vintage jazz, atonal orchestral writing and commercial hip-hop — a spread that looks like someone without a position, but I know I keep writing the same thing: emotion you can touch. Space matters more than density; breath matters more than melody. A lot of my pieces have no words at all, and I like them that way.
