Tim Mollette-Parks
- Composer
Tim Mollette-Parks' fascination with storytelling began through his
exposure to the rich-heritage of spinning yarns in his boyhood home in
the foothills and coalfields of Eastern Kentucky. He furthered refined
his own craft of telling a story through 10 years working as a
journalist at daily newspapers in Kentucky, Kansas City, Charlotte,
N.C. and finally in Chicago.
While in Chicago, he found a new medium for exploring the extraordinary stories of everyday life-songwriting. He spent four years as singer, guitar player and songwriter in a well-regarded folk/bluegrass band, The Kentucky Hilltoppers, publishing several songs that were performed or recorded by other Chicago musicians. Through the songwriting process, he developed an understanding of the combination of words, melody and rhythm that can develop a multi-layered expression of a narrative.
In 2013, he completed the original score and musical direction for Transfusion and began work on compositions for a new Web series about the history of the Chicago Cubs.
