Timothy 'Tim' Blake (born 6 February 1952, at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Shepherd's Bush, west London), keyboards, vocalist instrumentalist and composer with both Gong, and Hawkwind. Blake is best known for his Synthesizer and Light performances as Crystal Machine, with the French Light Artist Patrice Warrener.
They were sometimes joined on keyboards by the young prodigy Jean-Philippe Rykiel.
As well as being among the first to bring the synthesiser out of the studio and on to the stage, in the very early 70's Crystal Machine is noted for being the first to introduce the use of Laser lighting in the entertainment world.
Blake's discography contains more than 25 titles, including six solo albums as Tim Blake - Crystal Machine. Blake continues to work with Patrice Warrener on his Chromolithe Illumination System. He also continues to perform on a regular basis with Hawkwind. Blake lives in Brittany.
