Time Horizon

The history of US Neo-Prog band TIME HORIZON can be traced back to another entity called Iron Clay Potes. At some point Ralph Otteson and Dave Dickerson from this band approached Bruce Gaetke and wondered if he could mix some of their material. And while nothing substantial came out of the process, Iron Clay Poets eventually disbanding, Otteson and Gaetke developed a friendship on a personal and musical level in the process.

2004 saw the two of them form a band, supplemented by Dickerson and Steve Gourley. Following many years of honing their craft, the quartet got the opportunity to record and release their debut album Living Water on their own label Angelic Noice Records in 2011. Since then Dickerson and Gourley have decided to leave the band. Allen White (bass) and Dave Miller (guitars, keyboards) are the current additional full members.

Time Horizon members are Ralph Otteson (keyboards / background vocals), Bruce Gaetke (lead vocals/drums), Allen White (bass guitar), and Dave Miller (lead/rhythm guitar and keyboards). Time Horizon is based out of Northern California; and has been musically influenced by several symphonic rock-groups. Some of the bands are Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Kansas, and Pink Floyd, just to name a few.

The relationship between the band members began when Ralph Otteson, formerly the keyboardist for the band Iron Clay Poets, asked Bruce Gaetke if he would be interested in mixing down the ICP 32-track recording. Ralph and Bruce worked for several weeks together; during that time, they became fast friends. After ICP disbanded, the two decided to form a new band, along with original members Dave Dickerson and Steve Gourley, and immediately began writing original music.

In 2011, Time Horizon released their first CD, Living Water. The CD melds together stylized lyrics of faith, as well as refined symphonic music and instrumentals, to bring together the positive inspired sound of Time Horizon. With standout tracks like Life Fantastic, the music of Time Horizon will appeal to a broad range of music lovers.

Time Horizon is a supporter of Living Water International (LWI). LWI is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the poorest of the poor in parts of the world where clean drinking water is scarce. Time Horizon has dedicated the sale of the first 1000 CDs of Living Water to Living Water International to help in their goal of providing clean drinking water to the needy. We can help be part of the solution to a world-wide problem.

Time Horizon is in the final stages of preparing to release their second CD. The new album titled Transitions was mixed by Billy Sherwood of the band Yes and has several well-known and accomplished musicians and guest artists. The album is named Transitions, because it is a transitional album from what was, into what it could be and now it is ready to take flight. The bands desire is to use this new album to make an impact on the world with a positive message of hope.
