Timothy Dwyer, better known by his stage name Horse MacGyver (and formerly by the stylized moniker ///▲▲▲\\\[2]), is an Australian artist and electronic musician from Canberra.[1][3]

In 2010, Dwyer released an untitled EP under the name ///▲▲▲\\\ on the American label Disaro Records, which was limited to run of fifty hand-numbered CD-Rs.[1][4] Due to the EP's scarcity, the songs from it were combined with new material and released later that year as a full-length cassette-only album, Void, on both Dwyer's own label Bad Sound and the Canberra-based label Dream Damage.[1][5][6][7]

In 2019 Dwyer released an album entitled "DEEP FAKES" through Melbourne based record label "Nice Music."[8] The album received a positive review in the November 2019 issue of WIRE magazine. Stating that the album "Deep Fakes feels like a missing link between a certain 1990's tendency and the present. It channels the hyperactive playfulness of producers like Luke Vibert and Squarepusher in all their sleepy but sleep-deprived delirium... But Dwyer updates it with the no less twitchy pathology evident in current producers..."[9]
