After a year at Tate Britain as their first musician in residence, a CD of the resulting music - Colour Beginnings, based on the watercolours of JMW Turner - was issued in late Spring.

Colour Beginnings premiered at Tate Britain in November 2009 to great acclaim - performed by Tim with his quartet confirming his status as one of the very best of the UK's saxophonists. The performance is accompanied by a screening of the paintings which inspired the music.
