" No matter the tempo of the song, the crowd's enthusiasm remained colossal because of the artist's incredible ability to communicate to them, whether it was through the message of a particular song or via the in-between chatter when they could roll off a couple entertaining jokes."
— Corrine Tabor, Resound Magazine
"A combination of style and experience gained from previous endeavors allows ALLIN. to easily flow ideas and experiment. Aside from his raw talent as a pianist and performer, long hours and serious dedication have gone into his creation."
Jordan DuBreuil - Encore Magazine
Cameron Tinklenberg aka ALLIN. is releasing his second EP – “Lossy Matte” – a record that’s lush, effusive, chaotic, and introspective in equal measure. The record finds ALLIN. carving out a unique space amongst the litany of jazz-inflected electronic producers. “Lossy Matte” juxtaposes the textures and emptiness one encounters on a blank canvas with the playful distortions of digital compression; inviting us to explore our own self-image in the spaces in-between.
ALLIN’s last EP, “Ambedo Sessions”, was self-released in the Spring of 2018. The album was said to incorporate the rich synth textures of Flume with slouching Dilla-esque beats. Hailing from the wetlands of North Carolina, Tinklenberg has opened up for hip-hop artists such as Lupe Fiasco, Nappy Roots, J-Swiss, Wordsworth, and others. He has also played alongside prominent jazz musicians such as Herman Burney, Delfeayo Marsalis, and Joe Chambers. He was the co-founder of The Coastal Collective, Temple5, the Valedictorians, all which are well known NC-based jazz/hip-hop groups. He also co-founded the Beats & Coffee record label, which produces a steady flow of blissed-out study beats.
Tinklenberg now resides in Toronto, Ontario, where he’s been studying music technology and digital media development. The fast-passed mashup of scenes and ideas has quietly transformed his music practice. As he continues to immerse himself into the ever changing musical environment that is Toronto, his compositional sense seems to have shifted into a more diverse and broad palette. Tinklenberg’s newest work is itself a testament to his ongoing change and growth.
ALLIN. have been in different musical groups before and have played many gigs in many different places in the US & Canada. He have also attended a variety of Music Festivals throughout the Southeastern US and have experienced professional situations and have learned from many great artists. He attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and studied Music and Jazz Performance, as well as getting his Masters in Music Technology & Digital Media at the University of Toronto.
