According to BANG Partner and Composer Brian Jones, "Timo brings a unique and prodigious musical talent to our collective. He's a brilliant collaborator with the ability to make even simple ideas truly special."
Jones and Elliston are currently scoring two Fall shows for NatGeo. Additionally, Timo has also composed all the music for Bang's work on Disney and Marvel apps including Spider-man, The Jungle Book, Bambi, Mo Willems' "Don't Let the Pigeon Run This App," Avengers, Hulk and Toy Story.
