Timothy and the Apocalypse is an Australian electronic music project created by photographer, composer and producer Timothy Poulton.Blending cinematic electronica, melodic electronic music, downtempo and ambient textures, Poulton creates music shaped by atmosphere, landscape and the places he encounters through his work as a photographer.The project began in 2021 with the debut album Future So Bright, establishing a cinematic sound that would continue to evolve across a growing catalogue of albums and singles. Early releases attracted support from electronic and downtempo listeners and appeared alongside artists including Four Tet, Bonobo, Tim Shiel and Emancipator.Photography and music increasingly form part of the same creative process. Field recordings, environmental sounds and experiences gathered while travelling are often carried back into the studio, allowing a landscape to influence not only the visual work but the music itself.That connection can be heard throughout Timothy and the Apocalypse, from atmospheric earlier releases to recent work including Sunlight, My Hearts Awaken, Ambush and the album What If You Could Fly.Timothy Poulton also produces music through other projects including The Time Meddler, allowing different sides of his electronic work to develop independently while Timothy and the Apocalypse remains focused on cinematic, atmospheric and emotionally driven electronic music.

Timothy and the Apocalypse’s “Ambush” began in the middle of a frozen Patagonian winter, while Australian photographer and producer Timothy Poulton was leading a photography tour around El Chaltén in Argentina’s far south.
That setting could have easily turned into broad cinematic mood music, but the more interesting part of the track is smaller and stranger. The mountains gave him atmosphere, while abandoned cars around town gave him metallic percussion, incidental noise, and the weathered texture that ties the record to a real place.
There are worse places to get ambushed by an idea than Patagonia.
For his latest single, ‘Ambush’, Timothy and the Apocalypse found inspiration thousands of miles from the familiar confines of a studio. Written during the dead of winter while leading a photography tour through Argentina’s spectacular southern wilderness, the track began taking shape in and around El Chaltén, where granite mountains disappear into cloud and the wind seems capable of rearranging just about everything in its path.
"Making music with my brother gave this track a completely different energy. We've shared a lifetime of experiences, and I think that connection naturally found its way into the music. 'Coming To Life' is about rediscovering hope and embracing whatever comes next."
Built on shimmering synths, expansive textures and a steadily unfolding groove, My Hearts Awaken trades instant gratification for slow-burning emotion. Rather than chasing the biggest drop, the track patiently builds towards something more lasting—a feeling of release, resilience and rediscovery.
Music for after dark, long drives and somewhere in between.
A collection of electronic music playlists curated by Timothy Poulton, moving through melodic electronica, downtempo, deep house, ambient and organic electronic music. Updated regularly with music worth coming back to.
Deeper, darker electronic music for after hours. Atmospheric beats, progressive textures and tracks built for headphones after midnight.
These playlists are built by hand.
I spend a ridiculous amount of time listening to music, looking for tracks that create a particular atmosphere rather than simply fitting a genre. Some are artists I already love. Others are discoveries made while travelling, producing music or digging through new releases.
The common thread is simple: music that makes me feel something.
The playlists change constantly. The mood comes first.
