As an experimental composer Tim is very much aware of the tradition of music associated with Beckett\u2019s works, captured most famously by the American composer Morton Feldman. Samples of Tim\u2019s work, together with interviews and articles, can be accessed from his\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.untitledwebsite.com\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His Fellowship follows the pattern established by our Inaugural Fellow, the award-winning writer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/beckett\/creative-fellowships\/eimear-mcbride\/\">Eimear McBride<\/a>. Tim will produce regular reflections on his creative processes and evolving relationship with Beckett's work through the archive materials held at the University of Reading.
