Timothy Andrew Sommer (born March 5, 1962 in New York City) is an American music journalist, musician, record producer and former Atlantic Records A&R representative. Sommer was the bass player for the slowcore/dreampop band Hugo Largo.
Prior to forming Hugo Largo, Sommer hosted Noise the Show, a pioneering New York City-based hardcore punk radio show aired during 1981-82 on WNYU.
Sommer was a member of the Glenn Branca Ensemble, and played alongside Thurston Moore in the New York City punk rock band Even Worse. He was also an original member of Swans, but never performed live with them.
Hugo Largo (1984–89) was an American musical group known for their unique lineup of two bass guitars, a violin and singer/performance artist Mimi Goese. They released two albums in the late 1980s on Brian Eno's Opal Records label.
Sommer had a small speaking role in Tougher Than Leather, a 1988 feature film starring Run-D.M.C., Beastie Boys and other acts from the mid-1980s New York City hip hop movement.
He was a member of the New Orleans-based Hi-Fi Sky, who released Music for Synchronized Swimming in Space in 2005.
