Tim Smolens is a young musician, composer and producer. He is most notably known for being the bassist and co-founder of the Santa Cruz based band Estradasphere although he also actively participates in bands Don Salsa, ISS and Secret Chiefs 3.
Smolens also works with Jeff Attridge in a small company known as [Game Audio Magic] that composes music for interactive media. Game Audio Magic is most popular for providing the soundtrack to the computer game Gish and smaller flash games created by Edmund McMillen.
