Tim has composed many of STRIKE's pieces
- Marimbyss Written for one of the New Zealand School of Dance's choreographic seasons, this piece was set to a beautiful duo of dance, and is almost a lullaby.
- Triplicity This piece is based around a night out on town starting slowly and excited, building to climax, then in time after, slows to reflect and come back to earth.

- Ignition Fire, one of the four elements Strike incorporates in their show, makes this piece a concoction of rhythm and light. (Murray Hickman/Tim Whitta)
