About
Delos is thrilled to welcome Avery Fisher Career Grant-winning violinist and composer Tim Fain. A unique voice on the music scene, Tim is at the forefront of technology, and has produced boundary-pushing projects in collaboration with Google, Samsung, Facebook, BBC, and TEDx, among many others. He can also be heard on the soundtracks to many acclaimed films, including Black Swan, 12 Years a Slave, and Don’t Look Up. His first album for Delos, Unraveling, was born from a time of profound uncertainty. Conceived against a backdrop of pandemic, political upheaval, climate crisis, and rising mental health struggles among the youth population, this collection of works is not a surrender to despair, but a search for meaning, resilience, and hope. Featuring powerful works by John Corigliano, Bryce Dessner, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Philip Glass, and Meredith Monk – alongside Tim’s own deeply personal composition, Unraveling – this album is a journey through disintegration and renewal.

February 2026
The collection of minimalist works by John Corigliano, Bryce Dessner, EsaPekka Salonen, Philip Glass, Meredith Monk and Fain himself are persuasively played, with a fittingly anxious vibrato. By turns hypnotic and uneasy, an album that gives pause for thought.
January 2026
Dazzling technique and crystal-clear articulation are seamlessly allied to innate musical and interpretative understanding...An unrivalled 'Unraveling' from one of the most talented violinists of his generation.
