With Lava, Carlos Timon has made his solo recording debut. Helped on the interpretation of his compositions by his closest friends and musicians, "Swings of fate" shows a new direction in his music.

Carlos was born in Madrid, Spain in 1972. In the 90´s he collaborated and worked with such musicians as Javier Gallego (fellow founder of INSECTO), Marcos Monge (RESPECT, AKA FREE), Fran Bell, Javier Adán (ZURE-E-GURA, DEAD CAPO), Javier Díez-Ena, Fernando Alfaro (CHUCHO, SURFIN' BICHOS), Abel Hernández & Diego Yturriaga (MIGALA) and Michel Martín. Carlos played guitar in KEBRANTAS, one of the less conventional bands in the 90´s Spanish scene ("Amateur", Radiation Records 1995).

In 1998, Blue Fish Records released INSECTO´s debut "Love Fiasco" (see details on this website). Carlos has also composed his own brand of classical music with a special band, KULU TEMPO, as well under his own name. In recent years, Carlos's work has included sessions with Fran Padilla, Belinda Baxter, Matt Elliot (THIRD EYE FOUNDATION), Mike Cosgrave, and the O´Grady brothers Ciarán and James. Carlos also continues to do a great deal of work with Javier Gallego, Javier Díez-Ena and Javier Adán (all former fellow members of INSECTO), having all of them played on Lava's "SWINGS OF FATE" album. Carlos moved to London, UK, in 1998.
