Tim Cooke
Tim Cooke is a UK author and musician. His short stories The Priest[1] and Shopping List[2] are best known for the way they documented the physical and psychosocial environments of Hulme, Manchester, in the late 20th century.[3] His collection of stories in Ellipsis 1 detailed the impacts of toxic mental environments on isolated people living in socially deprived conditions.[4] Film director Penny Woolcock turned his novel The Principles of Lust into a feature film released in 2003.[5]
Cooke's anarcho-punk bands DUST and 15% Pus were known for their situationist activities in Manchester in the 1990s and part of the counterculture movement that transformed Hulme during that period. His work as a composer of original music for TV includes primetime programmes on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Al Jazeera.[6] He composed the music for the BBC Two series The Spice Trail, a popular BBC Two series introduced by Kate Humble, and for the two-part documentary Leonardo’s Dream Machines (under the nom de plume Tim Ambion), where attempts are made to construct Leonardo da Vinci's inventions from his drawings.[7]
