Tymoteusz often incorporates elements of horror and experimental music, creating intense and suspenseful compositions. Simultaneously, he contrasts them with spacious, dreamy textures and delicate, emotional melodies.

He arranged and produced Polish star actor Zbigniew Zamachowski's composition "Bo Twój Ojciec Tu Jest" featured in "A Night at the Kindergarten". His other collaborations include avant pop artists Karolina Micuła's "Piękny Koniec Świata." and Projekt MANIA's upcoming album release. Tymoteusz's commercial work includes the sound logo for Polish Radio #2, winning their 80th anniversary national competition; since 2018, it can be heard daily as the intro sound to the "Fantazja Polska" broadcast. He also composed the theme for the podcast "Polska w Grze."
As a young boy, Tymoteusz's first musical creativity involved plucking and scraping the strings of an old piano at his parents' house. He went on to earn an M.A. in Composition at the Academy of Music in Wrocław and co-hosted over 100 episodes of experimental music show "Panorama Dźwięku" on Academic Radio Luz during his studies. He then interned at Ballroom Studios in Dresden, where he assisted in recording and producing top German recording artists, and worked as a freelance sound technician, including a three-month stint on a cruise ship traversing the Canary Islands.
When he's not creating darkly expressive music in his studio in Wrocław, Tymoteusz frequently attends screenings of genre cinema and arthouse films. He loves pour-over coffee, yoga, and platformer video games.
