Out in nature surviving cancer, bankruptcy and bereavement.
The support I've had makes me feel like the luckiest guy alive. I'm here on TH-cam to pay the hope forward.
I also get nerdy about electronic music and technology on my Tim Exile channel.

My failed adventure with an arctic techno pioneer
I set out on an arctic adventure with my friend and techno pioneer Per Martinsen AKA Mental Overdrive but it all went terribly wrong.

How do we find true community in the 21st century?

A mysterious village saved me from losing everything. But we're losing our villages. These are my intuitions about how to rebuild villages in the 21st century.

Everything happened all at once but the support of my community transformed a tragedy into a gift. I want to pay the hope forward. The Gofundme campaign is still live www.gofundme.com/f/support-tim-exile-his-family-while-he-recovers-from-cancer We have enough for now but if you want to donate it will help me devote more time to creating more content like this.
Kan i jojne in the new vidio
Go with the flow. Expect no StuF 😊 I love this video. Cheers Tim :)
The choice is .. Feeling lucky? I think you are lucky because you have close loving people who support you - partner, daughters, sister … all the rest come after and is “like consequences” of it … How is this a choice? You were blessed with a sister, partner … children Ok … some people say one have to work on a relationship. First of all there has to be some grounds for a relationship which I believe are beyond our choice … fe. Capability to bond connections..
Can't wait to see what happens next...
All the best to you for the future.
Love the sounds Tim!! 😍
What camera are you using? Looks nice! I was there there (same weekend as you?) - also ran into Per! He's not on my video which is a really different take on the same place! th-cam.com/video/ZfET36DkXZA/w-d-xo.html
Wow, two Tromsø-techno-vlogs in a week! th-cam.com/video/ZfET36DkXZA/w-d-xo.html
Really wonder if this was the same weekend or some weeks before, innit?! Content like this is what Kristoffer have been asking for. You really get to know the people behind the music, pretty excellent!
Per is mai dad
Hi Tim 😊
Hello Tim, I just noticed that you were going through a difficult phase in your life. I wish you all the strength to push forward your visions again. Your driving force for being together, with which you have given us all so much joy and fun, thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish you this inner strength and power again. Long live music, you Tim and each other. threelum (Mike)
Love how honest you are talking about your situation. And please don’t feel bad. It’s not your fault. All the user including me that loved endless but did not spend money in support are to blame. Also I just can’t understand why not all the big companies are competing to be allowed to buy endless and integrated it to there platform. @ableton please buy endless
Thank you Tim. I’m going crazy with all the shit happening and I mean the personal things would be hard enough to handle. But all the global conflicts, are affecting friendship. And the worst there is no time to breath one event is followed by another layer on layer. People forget and move on. And in about two weeks we will know if America will become a dictatorship. I really need to find a village with nice people. Thank you for giving me hope. And thank you for everything you have done.
Will we be getting the further adventures of getting there? Per seems like the best accomplice.
The journey is the destination as always :D
love the video and the music
@@JeremyWentworth thank you so much!
lovely backing tracks!
@@soma808 ace! Thank you! I love this new thing I’ve built
I wanted to say the same. Please release the backing tracks :)
Glad to see you continuing with this channel. This is awesome, Tim! Your perspective is inspiring.
Thank you! I'm here for the long game on this one
Haha, that's funny, my dad was a merchant navy captain, and my mum bought him the exact same sign 😂
Amazing - the bit where I said that joke lives on throughout time and space didn't make the cut haha
@@LuckiestTimAlive haha brilliant! The sign, well, cast metal plaque really, is attached to dad's shed door, nicknamed the Ark due to the tremendous downpour just as we were putting the roof on 😂
Go with the flow and see what happens....nice 😊
This is the only way - for me at least
@@LuckiestTimAlive When I heard it I thought, that's how I've been living all along 😊
Goddam Tim. That’s rough. You’re still standing and looking strong. Obviously you’re needed here.
Thank you - yeah it was rough and the refractions are still rough but it's so important to me to stay positive - even if I'm not on the inside
Love the music. And everything else about this. Subscribed
How many brits do you need to get Tromsøtekno on the vlogs? Only one, but he needs to be the food-drinking Luckiest Tim Alive!
Hahaha amazing - maybe I need to get sponsored by one of those food replacement meal drink companies haha
@@LuckiestTimAlive On a more serious note, the Luckiest Tim Alive seems to be an amazing Tim! One thing is to see you here at all, the bonus is this new Tim is going deep and focusing on the important things. Please don't forget because the world will probably want to push you into some idea of who the system wants you to be. Much love from another Norwegian :)
So his studio sort of doubles as a mini tech museum? Haha. I was really enjoying the talk around the idea of "never give up" It really is thrown around as like a token motivational phrase. But never give up on what? That's the key element. Some people believe, for example, that marriage is for life. So should an abused partner never give up on the marriage even at the cost of their physical or mental health? Some would feel they should never give up, to fight for their marriage with counselling etc - but this isn't always the way. Maybe, it should be that the abused partner never gives up on themselves - that part of their journey on never giving up is to find a way out. They haven't given up on their marriage, they're not giving up on themselves. It's a tricky one and that's just a little example. Some things we do need to give up on. But ultimately, never give up on striving for a better life and a better you and the betterment of the people around you. That's the ultimate "never give up" journey I think! And maybe on that day, you destination was indeed destined to be the car park. Still felt like an adventure to me!
This is so on point! The hardest part of not giving up is getting clear on what you're not giving up on. Mazlo's hierarchy of missions?
The adventure wasn’t a fail, you just didn’t reach the intended destination.
@@MWyndham this is the right answer haha!
I really enjoyed this, keep up the good work.
@@bobule thank you sir! It was of course great fun to shoot. I would love to make this format work!
May our Creator bless you Tim. You are one of the GOATS! (By the way, THE MOUTH was before it's time, DOPE!!!!!) 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! I will continue to try to keep exploring over the horizon!
This is so special Tim. We all love you so much. Where are you wandering in these videos by the way?
Ah thank you! This one was shot near my mum's place in Arundel, Sussex
That's great 🎉🎉❤❤
🙏🏻❤️☮️💟
Yes it Inspire me Two
🎉❤😊 jhaaaa You Go him 🎉🎉🎉
Yes he Should he is so. Whaes ❤😊
Hei it’s mi ❤❤❤ you really Are the Luckiest Time Alive
Hallooo!
I think the best way to find community is to put down the phone or use it properly to find what you NEED in the world. The only thing a phone as been for me is a rose tinted telescope that can take you all over the world but trap you in your own mind althewhile you're physically going nowhere. Of course this is one small piece of the pie but its a solution that goes a long way. Invest in your surroundings, and if you don't like your surroundings, its always possible to leave. You can cross the US 3 times over coast to coast with only a months rent. And a plane ticket anywhere else even less. Think about it.
You're so right. I'm so much better when I finally put down my phone
Thanks for the video, Tim. You are touching on a topic close to my heart. I grew up in a village, a municipality of 1000 people, but I needed to move for education. As I went to high school and later university I got the growing feeling of being alienated from the nice city I was studying in and feeling alone even with heaps of friends. After seven years at university, I got myself a Master of science where I could have done anything I wanted. I could do research, if I wanted. I could have gotten a high-paying job in a firm that hired most of my peers, if I wanted. I could have travelled and worked abroad, if I wanted. I ended up going back to my home place working for the local municipality so I could be closer to my people. In the same way some processed food or drinks taste "artificial" I felt that living in a city was an artificial form of a community/village. I wholeheartedly believe that people living in a city are being compensated for the feeling of belonging with a higher salary, more opportunities and more entertainment.
What a great choice to make and I have no doubt that you're being rewarded well for taking the road less travelled. The city and its bright lights (both literal and metaphorical) are addictive and it's hard to resist. You've done something rare. Bravo
Just have to say Tim, you sound near enough exactly like Bear Grylls
Hahaha this is the first time I've heard that but I'll take it
Tim! Thank you for making these videos. I believe in them. But speaking of storytelling, something I think you are very good at, and I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, and I know you’re trying different things, but there is definitely something in your first two videos, especially the second one, with the music, and your constantly moving through the landscape, that really worked so well. I don’t mean to sound you know, shallow - to talk about form when what you’re speaking to are matters of such gravity - but! When I saw that second video I thought: «Oh, this is just going to be Tim, moving through the world like this, sometimes with other people, sometimes alone, and we get to just think with Tim! and listen with Tim!» and I though, that’s just going to be so great. And this is great too! Please don’t get me wrong. And you’re probably a good few videos further in than this. But I encourage you to go back and look at that second video. There’s something there! Something way of storytelling something that really works. You moving through the landscape. Sometimes we see you. Sometimes what you see. And the thoughts. And the music. Yes, apologies for ramble! And who am I to say this. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have thought about it a lot! I know what you mean - the first couple had a purity to them which felt essential. I'm still experimenting with what works. There's another one coming tomorrow which I'm quite excited about - the first time with a guest on the channel! But I'm taking what you're saying to heart. I would love this channel to have a really pure essence. It will also make it easy to create if it's a simple formula
Community is gone because every principle and institution that bound people together has been attacked starting with Churches. The tallest buildings in towns and villages were the Churches wherein people gathered together toward a common point of attention and celebration which then flowed downstream to unity within families.
im not a christian but im going to volunteer at a church to better help and get involved in my community.
This is the way - acting in spite your your doubts - well done you ❤️
Yes exactly this. As well as villages we also need to find churches.
So good to see You and hear that story. Greetings from Poznan in Poland. We are waiting for You here <3 Lot's of love to Your whole family!
Ah thank you! I would so love to get back out on the road again at some stage.
Excellent video, keep on going. Keep on flowing. I recommend you to watch the movie "Ame Agaru" (dir. Takashi Koizumi) it will assist you as it has always assisted me. Cheers :)
Oh Tim. It's a blessing to have you 'back', and re/unmade. These videos are a gift and speak for many of us, more eloquently than you might imagine. x
It's great to be back! Thank you for welcoming me!
Are you the same Tim who gave me The Finger a few years ago?
Yes the very same sir
😊
Thank you for your video and viewpoint. I agree that the world has lost its villages. Communication, people, and things - reach far and fast. Tech innovation has changed the world forever. I believe you that we lost our villages some 100-200 years ago. I'm not educated in terms of culture, but our rate of technological progress is unprecedented and it's not hard to believe life is very different now than what we were used to as a species. I would argue that the loss of our villages is secondary in harm, to the recent capture of our attention - The internet. Since the internet was introduced around 2000, our collective (free time in front of a screen) has increased linearly, from around 2 hours a day (in 2000, on a TV), to around 7 hours a day (in 2024, on the internet). 7 hours of free time is almost all of everyones free time!!! This is a direct and incredibly severe change in how we spend our time. I agree with you when you said "we are so over awed by the power we've unleashed". People are addicted. The internet is engineered to be addicting, not unlike a drug. Consuming entertainment and media in druglike doses is harmful to us psychologically, but it's also affected our participation in "3rd places": social environments that are neither home ("first place") nor work ("second place"). In the period between 1970 and 2000, third places were crucial for fostering community, providing a setting for casual, spontaneous social interactions. Since 2000, 3rd places have essentially been replaced by the internet. This loss of "3rd places" would be another nail in the coffin to your "lost villages" hypothesis. There are additional factors that may lead one to feel anxiety. A collapsing ecosystem. Violence and greed as core attributes of being human... despite all the progress we've made elsewhere, our brutality persists. Even the most privileged people make decisions that cause harm, out of pure selfishness. Homogeneity, stereotypes, racism, expectations of things we've never experienced. Commodification of every aspect of life. A loss of authenticity. The internet has taken our innocence, and made us afraid. Studies have been conducted over time in the U.S. asking people about their trust in others, with one of the most prominent being the General Social Survey (GSS). The GSS has asked the question "Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted, or that you can’t be too careful in dealing with people?". Less than 30% of people trust eachother today, relative to about 60% in the 1960's and earlier, despite the world today being safer than it ever was before. The internet has been used to manipulate us - against our friends and neighbors. We are more politically polarized than ever. Another thing you said "People will take your power, to give themselves power" is applicable here. By dividing us, we are controlled, at the expense of our relationships. We are controlled at the expense of practical policy... utilitarianism subverted by the application of technology, incentivized by wealth and power. I would urge you to consider internet addiction as a core harm, when you think about what kind of solutions you might want to pursue. Although the internet might be the most effective way of transmitting information at scale, i don't think the internet in and of itself offers any solution to the problem inherent in itself. I think we need to draw a hard line in the sand and be intentional about what role the internet and the commodification of our attention should occupy in society. Should we accept that people are drawn to quick releases of dopamine from a screen? That companies are allowed to manipulate this for profit? Should we push back and say that this isn't healthy for us? That we need to exist in the present with eachother? I think we need to collectively get outside and touch grass more than ever. We need to connect intentionally and spend time together. We need to act like it's the 80's. Have a beer with a neighbor, play in the street. We need to step away from fiction and fear and constant entertainment.
Strongly agree with what you're saying. I find the most challenging thing knowing who or what to 'push back' against. I feel somehow that pushing back is what we all instinctively want to do but what we need to do is pull together - and that is much harder to do - it involves pushing back at our own instincts rather than pushing back at others.
We lost together and we found each other, Tim. Through hardship, failures, challenges and accepting our guilts and shames. I really appreciate your content. This marks a really crucial step for a very exciting future ahead for us. Most of the time, especially in a healing path, we found solution through action right in between the doing. Congratulations. Keep doing your finding authentically.
Ah bless you thank you! Finding each other through loss - it's the cracks where the light comes in
This reminds of when you used to talk about all the shires. As you know, Endlesss gave me so many things. I would not be the person, musician, creative that I am today without having had the experience that it and everything that went with it, gave me. I don't have the answers to how to bring back those connections. All I do know is that when moving through this crazy life I do my best to have compassion, kindness and and open mind because you're right, the world feels challenging for everyone right now.
The shires! Yes!I think it's OK not to have the answers. This whole video is about me not having answers really - but the determination is important - and the kindness and compassion too. All three are essential if we're going to become villagers again.
I’m right with you Tim. I think the conflict of scale is our technology reaching beyond our metaphorical biology arm. We are over stretched. We need more aspects to bridge that ever-increasing gap. And one important aspect - as you say - is a village. But I don’t believe I can just create a village, but the energy that made you the Tim Exile I know through your music might be enough to connect more people. What you do with that is where I get lost in a thousand half ideas with no direction. And how mad is it that I feel like I can speak about such things to yourself, but not people who I know more/have known for longer? So much to unpack.
Oh I feel you on the thousands of ideas. I guess one of the blessings of creating things and sharing them in public is that there's creative energy and even more so attention is very limited - so I don't think this is any particular focus of mine, just plain old constraints haha
