He has sung for German band Centrozoon and British electro-improvisers Darkroom on the more vocal-orientated projects performed and released by each group. He is the lead singer and guitarist for Henry Fool and also sings for Memories of Machines. He was singer (and occasional second guitarist) for Samuel Smiles between 1992 and 2000.

This project has so far produced one album, 2002's California, Norfolk.Bowness's debut solo album, My Hotel Year was released on One Little Indian in 2004.

Album:
40 years after first appearing in bands in his native North West England, 'Butterfly Mind' is Tim Bowness' most surprising release to date.From the short, sharp shocks of 'Always The Stranger' and 'Only A Fool' to the long, ambitious tracks of the sensual 'Dark Nevada Dream', the cinematic electro-ballroom of 'Glitter Fades' and the dystopian paranoia of 'Say Your Goodbyes' Parts 1 and 2, 'Butterfly Mind' offers a heady mix of art-rock invention, post-punk energy and epic, soulful ballads.Tim's seventh solo album is accompanied by the outstanding rhythm section of Richard Jupp (in his first major session since leaving Elbow) and Nick Beggs, as well as a spectacular guest list including Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Dave Formula (Magazine), Peter Hammill (Van Der Graaf Generator), Martha Goddard (The Hushtones), Gregory Spawton (Big Big Train), Mark Tranmer (The Montgolfier Brothers / GNAC), Saro Cosentino (Franco Battiato), Italian jazz musician Nicola Alesini, US singer Devon Dunaway (Ganga), Stephen W Tayler (Kate Bush) and - in his first studio work with Tim in almost three decades - former No Man violinist Ben Coleman. The album was produced by Tim Bowness and Brian Hulse (Plenty), mixed and mastered by Steven Wilson.Available as a limited 2CD edition (with alternative mixes and bonus material) and as a limited 180g LP + CD edition with special die-cut artwork by Carl Glover. Also available as a digital album.
