UK-based producer, web engineer, and data sonification pioneer. Crafting immersive sonic landscapes, custom Web Audio tools, and independent label releases across six distinct projects.
Explore Tim Waterfield’s ecosystem across sound art, software development, independent record publishing, and industrial noise rock.
Web development, digital production, data sonification & tech articles.
Kennebec serves as Tim Waterfield’s software engineering lab and technology publication. Focusing on custom Web Audio API tools, real-time MIDI processors, climate data-to-decibels sonification, and modern web architecture.
Instrumental post-rock, generative synthesis, and 75+ catalog releases.
Karhide is Tim’s primary solo recording alias — blending cinematic post-rock guitars, electronic textures, and live data feeds (UK air quality, oil indexes, climate warming stripes) into interactive offline web experiences and synthesizers.
Independent UK record label specializing in Post-Rock, Electronica, and Drone.
An independent record label founded to champion adventurous instrumental music, post-rock, drone, and ambient soundscapes. Platforming independent UK artists alongside physical and digital releases.
Vast, empty soundscapes built from ominous drones and slow orchestral swells.
Synnax crafts deep, atmospheric noise, drone, and dark ambient compositions. Stripping away conventional beats to focus on dissonant textures, sub-bass resonances, and tidal orchestral swells.
Immersive soundscapes blending intricate guitar work and emotive composition.
Constant Pool is a post-rock and ambient project featuring layered electric guitar motifs, spatial delay loops, and warm organic textures designed for focused, introspective listening.
Formidable UK noise rock pioneer duo (1999–2006) driven by drum machines.
Formed in Leicester in 1999, Ann Arbor combined Shellac metallic guitar rhythms with Godflesh-inspired drum machine onslaughts across two studio albums (16 Bit, A Long Trip) and splits with Maybeshewill.

Tim Waterfield is a UK-based developer, musician, and data sonification researcher. Over two decades, his work has spanned industrial noise rock, cinematic post-rock, bespoke algorithmic audio engines, and modern full-stack web engineering.
As a software engineer (under the Kennebec umbrella), Tim specializes in converting complex data streams — such as global warming stripes, air quality indexes (DAQI), and economic charts — into musical parameters. His web applications merge native browser technologies like the Web Audio API with offline-first PWAs and responsive design.
As a recording artist and record label operator (Erasable Assignments), he produces instrumental post-rock as Karhide, ambient drone as Synnax, guitar-driven soundscapes as Constant Pool, and spearheaded industrial noise rock duo Ann Arbor.
