Bio:

Time Horizon is an AOR Christian Progressive Rock Band with hook laden and odd meter time signatures thrown in. Emphasis on balance between instrumentation, vocal melodies and catchy rhythmic song structures. Time Horizon has songs influenced from the epic bands of timeless classics, yet maintained an identifiably unique approach.The Band started out as a bunch of friends writing music together and grew from there.. Ralph Otteson had played in a band called “Iron Clay Poets” during the mid 90′s. They played around the Central Valley of California for a few years and finally recorded an Album, however the album was never released after being finished due to the disbanding of the members. It was through mixing this album with the help of Bruce Gaetke that brought together what would become the origins of Time Horizon.Steve Gourely joined in during the recording sessions playing bass. With all but two songs completed, Steve decided to return to Cambodia where he continues his work helping to protect women and children in human rights issues. Dave DIckerson left the band before the release of the album to work with other musicians as did Bruce Gaetke. it appeared to Ralph after a second attempt to release an album, that this one too would end up not being finished and available to the public.The 1st album “Living Water” After a year had passed Ralph decided to finish the album by funding the project, forming his own label and music production company Angelic Noise and dedicating the first production run of 1000 CDs to help people in third world countries by raising funds for clean water. He shared this vision with Bruce Gaetke, who returned to help with the release and perform in support concert shows. Ralph chose to partner with Living Water International, hence the name of the first album. Time Horizon continues to be committed to helping the thirsty around the world.Before the release of “Living Water”, Ralph looked to his long time friend Allen White to fill the role as bass player and to play the album in Live concert. Allen had played bass in a band with Ralph called One-Eighty all throughout the 80′s. The need to find two guitarists to cover the guitar parts became evident and they found Dave Miller to play most of the lead parts. The search for the second guitarist resulted with the addition of Rick Hunt, just weeks before the first scheduled CD release concert. After only three shows, Rick had to leave because of major surgery he needed, and they were able to play one last show with the help of Jeff Garner and wait for Ricks recovery.The 2nd Album “Transitions” During the waiting period, work on the second album began. Rick never ended up returning and Jeff ended up attending some of the writing sessions for a portion of the album. The band knew they were capable of more and desired to raise the bar on the next one so they brought in the support of Billy Sherwood to help in production and mixing the songs. After mixing the first few songs Bruce informed the band he would have to leave the project to attend to his family. Jeff was out as well, so now, yet again, another album project was in danger of collapse.Ralph went to friend Lang Bliss, a session and touring drummer in Nashville, to provide the needed drum tracks in which he did in a mighty way. Lang has recorded and toured with many of the top artists associated with the Christian Music labels of Nashville. David Wallimann was chosen to provide guitar tracks because his style of playing would fit perfectly with what had already been written. His work with Glass Hammer and Dweezil Zappa is an indication of his level of musicianship. To provide lead vocal, Ralph and Allen recruited the help of Rich Reif who sang with 180 back in earlier times. With the final song to finish, and after a long search to find the vocals for a Kansas like tune, Ken Westphal suggested we call Jake Livgren who had sung with his uncle Kerry in the band Proto Kaw. That was exactly the right call and the album was complete. Billy Sherwood wanted to see the production all the way through the mastering phase, so he brought it to Grammy nominated mastering engineer, Maor Appelbaum. The album was named “Transitions”, because it is a transitional album from what was, into what it could be and now it is ready to take flight.

Album:

Northern California proggy AORsters TIME HORIZON are back with new music in seven years in the form of new album ”Power Of Three”. The genesis of the band started in the mid-90’s when keyboardist Ralph Otteson were mixing some demos and meet other studio musicians. They wrote music together and performed throughout the Central Valley of California until recording and releasing its debut in 2011.The aptly titled ”Power Of Three” is TIME HORIZON’s third effort, where the band maintains its affinity for delectable light progressive rock pieces but equally joined with melodic hard rock and AOR tincturing. Michael Sadler of SAGA appears as guest, and give an idea of this album sound & style.While proggy, the band is not afraid to truncate its songwriting and deliver a song in more traditional four to five minute territory with commercial appeal.Power Of Three opens to a pair of quintessential progressive rockers in “Living For A Better Day” and “Here, I See”. Former is album’s lengthiest at eight minutes, resonating of the pristine with its sleek joining of crisp guitar and classy keyboards but interwoven with a thick bass driven groove foundation. The melodic ‘miles and miles away, waiting for a better day’ refrain gives prominence to those AOR elements in question.“Here, I See” maintains the AOR leanings within a progressive framework primarily keyboard driven, with echoing keyboards dancing between the left and right channels ahead of Mau taking over with his smooth classic tenor vocal delivery to lead the way to the elegant refrain in which the group’s wondrous harmonies hold sway. Rhythm guitar makes its presence felt briefly at the mid-point and lead guitar for the instrumental run to close.“Prelude”, a short (two and half minute) instrumental carried by organ, swirling lead guitar and keyboards, gives way to “The Razor’s Edge”. What we have is one of albums heaviest, with full on rhythm guitars bordering on hard rock allying with scintillating vocal melodies and Eighties style hooks to set an inspiring radio friendly tone.Yes, “The Razor’s Edge” finds Time Horizon backing from its progressive ways but also proves no less notable as an essential deep cut.“Steve’s Song” was written in tribute to former Time Horizon bassist Steve Gourley, gently hovers to buoyant keyboards, piano and deliberate bass. Keyboard footing carries over to “Time To Wonder Why”, an elegant AOR ballad resonating of majestic melody, affluent vocals and stately demeanor. Again, this is another quality example of Time Horizon successfully taking a non-progressive songwriting stance.Now we have an arena hard rocker in “The Great Divide”. Charging guitars and pounding drums jump-start at once, soon joined by organ and keyboards with the allotment coalescing for a lucid feel (albums transparent production separates in this regard). The heavier rocking proclivity that carries to the earthy and gritty verse sections and anthem-like refrain to see organ manifest to the front of the mix cannot help but bring to mind Sweden’s Modest Attraction.Album closes in strong progressive fashion with “Digital Us”, a song of how technology enhances our lives but also binds it. Flowing keyboards to start with animated bass, slow and dreamy – almost drifting in an ethereal sense – until a slight rhythm guitar edge cuts in to bolster the adulatory refrain. Several instrumental runs present, including first to highlight Gregory’s bold lead guitar and second driven grandly by rhythm guitar and feedback underlined by ‘digitized’ narration.The AOR infused progressive rock sound to third Time Horizon album ”Power Of Three” finds the group in top form. All the needed ingredients are at hand: top-notch musicianship and vocals inherent to the progressive genre, lush production and eye catching cover art.Yes, the group stretches and reveals its lengthy song structuring and time signature driven licks and chops but is also not afraid to condense its songwriting in a heavier rocking or ballad formula.
