In 2013, the release of Road Songs represents a departure from the norm, with almost exclusive use of digital devices and/or synthesizers (new and old).
The album is a C&G production (all original compositions, except for one Bach piece); musical arrangements and instrumentation by Tim Gemmill.
Road Songs is unique with an acoustic element combined with MIDI, a 24 track Mackie board and Digital Audio Tape; the sound so clean that noise reduction was not required in final editing.
Jay kenney (Audio Logic) is the mixing engineer, Dave Davis (The All Night Party), the mastering engineer, and QCA, Inc. responsible for CD manufacturing.

New York music critic, Melissa Nastasi, writes, "Meet Tim Gemmill, a unique artist paving his way in the electronic era.
Recently releasing the record, Road Songs, Gemmill provides his own version of electro laced music that will intrigue the listener from the very beginning.
The ten track record is a stunning collection of songs like you have never heard before.
Gemmill's use of synthesizers and Memory Moogs fill Road Songs with a harmonious and delightful surprise."
Ms. Nastasi continues, "Tim Gemmill has created a distinctive collection of tracks within Road Songs.
His unique blend of synthesized instruments, take the digital era of music into a new direction.
Gemmill's music exploration on this record is honest, energetic and truly one-of-a-kind."

Alice Neiley, also of New York, writes the following, "electronic music often gathers up so many bells and whistles in any given composition that the listener can barely find the center, the core mood, the melody, let alone their own center of gravity, or, more frankly, that clear, almost physical reason to keep listening that good music provides every time.
Of course, this is coming from a listener who doesn't usually spend much time with electronic music, so perhaps others would say the opposite.
Tim Gemmill, an emerging artist, recently released Road Songs, an unusually solid, soulful album, especially for the electro genre.
The tracks move between lengthy, synthesized epics, playful, funk ridden pieces, and pieces rooted in classical themes and West African instrumentation.
To say the least, it's eclectic.
To say the most, it's a life and all its rhythms, it's a heartbeat."
Ms. Neiley concludes, by saying, "Contrary to my initial opinions of electronic music, Tim Gemmill gives the heart a jolt or two, tugging a few strings of longing and sorrow as well.
He's obviously trying to open up the genre with a new wind, and in that endeavor especially, Road Songs is a success—each transition between songs perfectly timed, each shift in heartbeat earned."
