Original Acoustic Compositions performed on Rare, Antique Harpguitars and Guitars
Tim Bertsch has been a disciple of the guitar and it’s resonance since the age of 10. Now at the age of 35, he has long since lived, composed and performed in three very different musical worlds being equally at home on the electric guitar as well as acoustic guitar/harpguitar. Heavily rooted in jazz, bebop, fusion, flamenco, rock, classical, blues, new age, celtic, and gypsy music his unique musical talents are equally as diverse. He has been a longstanding member of the rock dynamo Jaded Mary, as well as a valued member of the seasoned jazz group H.D. Fusion, sharing the headliner billing with many national acts. His versatility and competency on guitar, harpguitar, bass, mandolin and sitar have made him an in demand studio musician as well as a successful full time private music instructor since 1990.
”A seeker of lost knowledge and technologies, I am an eternal student of life and it’s expression. My voice is of wood and steel. I am a composer, performer, an expressionist.” Tim’s latest solo release “SOULRESONANCE” is a collection of well traveled, thoughtfully composed and arranged original works written and recorded on harpguitar, parlor guitar, and various other rare, unique, acoustic guitars most of which were aquired and personally restored by Tim himself. “I’ve been blessed to have studied with: Larry Coryell, Emily Remeler, Beppe Gambetta, Joshua Breakstone, Don Lamphere and John Stowell as well as many other masters of the resonance”. As a musical composer, performer, and recording artist, Bertsch is always looking for untapped resources of musical expression and inspiration. His lifelong goal: “To live a life of expression, to leave a lengthy, meaningful catolog of my soul’s finest resonances”. Tim’s parting words: “Long after I am gone, my soul’s song will carry on.” T.E.B.

Lunavision Presents
Director: David Redmon. Running Times: 72 and 48 mins (plus extras including a diary from a worker in the factory)
Winner of twenty-one national and international awards, Mardi Gras: Made in China follows the path of Mardi Gras beads from the streets of New Orleans during Carnival – where revelers party and exchange beads for nudity – to the disciplined factories in Fuzhou, China – where teenage girls live and sew beads together all day and night. Blending curiosity with comedy, Mardi Gras: Made in China is the only film to explore how the toxic products directly affect the people who both make and consume them.
