TITAN TO TACHYONS is an experimental jazz-metal group led by New Zealand composer and guitarist Sally Gates, backed by the powerhouse rhythm section of Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle), Matt Hollenberg (Cleric), and Kenny Grohowski (Imperial Triumphant). The quartet instrumentally depicts the realms of Surrealism and science-fiction through eclectic and improvisational passages, juxtaposed by fluid grooves and metallic flurries. 

Their latest album, ‘Vonals’, was released via John Zorn’s Tzadik records late 2022. Titan to Tachyons toured in support of the record, with festival appearances at Big Ears, Jam Room Fest, and other select dates with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, and have an upcoming European tour in November 2024.

Vonals was recorded and mixed by Colin Marston at Menegroth, the Thousand Caves (Dysrhythmia, Krallice, Imperial Triumphant), mastered by Scott Hull at Masterdisk (Miles Davis, Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock), and completed with band photography by Naeemah Z. Maddox and cover paintings by Sally Gates. Tzadik Records released the album in September 2023.

Titan to Tachyons’ sold-out debut, Cactides was released on vinyl and CD through Nefarious Industries late 2020, with a pre-recorded live set sponsored by Orange Amps and premiered by Revolver Magazine in lieu of a release show.
