The English flutist Tim Wheater composes music for small acoustic ensembles with a background of electronic keyboards.

His fifth work, Calmer Panorama, is an album for meditation, consisting of two long suites for flute, synthesizer, and natural sounds. Similarly, Whalesong features music inspired by duets between flute and whales. The long and elaborate pieces of Timeless are instead closer to the tradition of pop and jazz (especially the lengthy The Wind Of Freedom).

The Yearning is a double album entirely dedicated to "romances for alto flute" by the composer Michael Hoppé. On Babel, Wheater simply accompanies the kaleidoscopic evolutions of Nick Franks’ electronics.

Wind Songs (Seventh Wave, 1996), a collaboration with keyboardist Michael Hoppe`, offers spiritually intense improvisations a` la Paul Horn, permeated by Indian and middle-eastern flourishes. Most of them are the musical equivalent of a delicate breeze (Between Cave And Cloud, Tears of the Earth), but a few contain touching melodies that unfold slowly (Silence of Stars, The Lark's Return).

Afterglow (Hearts of Space, 1999), a collaboration with Michael Hoppe` and cellist Martin Tillmann, is devoted to neoclassical compositions by Hoppe`, and accompanied by Hoppe`'s sinister mournful keyboards drones. The cello compositions (A Thousand Whispers, The Waiting with sounds of rain) are particularly tender, bordering on romantic languor (Long Ago). The flute compositions are more experimental, thanks to the inventions of the accompanying cello: Shadows Fall for flute and cello reverbs, The Reckoning for flute and percussive cello sounds, The Listening Wind for flute and haunting cello rhythm.
