Biography

Tim Friese-Greene is a British musician, songwriter and producer active since the 1970s.. He worked with Talk Talk, co-writing three, and producing four of the band’s albums between 1984 and 1991: It’s My Life, The Colour of Spring, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. Although not credited as an official member, his arrival was described at the time by Record Collector magazine as a ‘watershed’ for the band, becoming Mark Hollis’s principal studio collaborator, his co‑writer and producer during the band’s later career. As an artist in his own right, Friese-Greene worked from the 1990s under the alias of Heligoland and from 2009 under his own name, and also as one half of Short-Haired Domestic with Lee Friese-Greene. In later years he also began a series of ‘undocumented performances’, consisting of unrecorded outdoor improvisations, reflecting an interest in ephemeral forms of musical expression.
