Tim Fite (born Timothy Sullivan)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harp Magazine )〕 is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, living and working in Brooklyn. His past releases have run the gamut from indie to alternative to country to hip hop. ==History== Fite was born and raised in rural New Jersey, where he developed a certain fascination with guns and social value systems that can be found in his music, art and the illustrated stories he also creates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tim Fite Home. )〕 Fite is known for using samples from long-forgotten records to amplify his mixed-genre approach to music. On his Anti Records debut ''Gone Ain't Gone'' he set the self-imposed limit of using only samples from records bought for less than a dollar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tim Fite: Gone Ain't Gone - PopMatters Music Review )〕 During the early 2000s, Fite was one half of hip hop duo Little-T and One Track Mike,〔 who are mostly remembered for their only hit "Shaniqua", which was popular on music channels such as MTV. After that group went on an indefinite hiatus, Fite signed to the ANTI- Records label and started releasing solo albums. In 2006, Fite released a full-length, web-only, free hip hop record, ''Over the Counter Culture'', which was a critique of modern culture of consumerism and greed. Critics from the ''Los Angeles Times'' to the ''Chicago Tribune'' to the ''Chicago Sun Times'' placed it in their top 10 for 2007, yet in deference to the subject matter, Fite decided not to release it commercially.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ANTI- OVER THE COUNTER CULTURE - ONE OF THE BEST RECORDS OF 2007 IS NOT AVAILABLE IN A STORE NEAR YOU )〕 Fite has continued to release albums free of charge through his website, most recently 2010's Under the Table Tennis. Fite's ''Fair Ain't Fair'' was released May 6, 2008,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fair Ain't Fair )〕 which was followed by a tour with Philadelphia's Man Man.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Les Claypool and Tim Fite - Wimgo )〕 Tim released ''Ain't Ain't Aint'', the final installment of his "Ain't" album trilogy, on March 6, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ain't Ain't Aint' )〕 In 2014, Tim parted ways with ANTI records and took a more direct approach to distributing his work, by launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund his next album called IBEENHACKED. His ambitious goal was to create not only an album but a "unified body of artwork surrounding the theme of an album" that would become a "multi-media exploration of how digital living, digital dependance, and digital thinking effect our everyday lives in terms of productivity, creativity, privacy, and self-realization." The album had limited release to his kickstarter backers in August 2014, and a full release is scheduled for September 2014. He often collaborates with Ryan Foregger for his music videos. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tim Fite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
