Chuck van Zyl
Using modular systems, a variety of modern analog synthesizers and sequencers, and operating at an emotion and enthusiastic pitch, Chuck van Zyl realizes music that possesses as much the buzz and crackle of electricity as it does the frigid black of space. From his instrument’s storm force of sound comes delightful throbbing bass lines, echo-warping chimes and a mystery machine pulse, against which Zyl sways and plays synthesizer strings, Mellotron choir and full-blooded melodies. Staccato synthesizer blips interlock and pound out might sequencer patterns, yet this mechanical rigidity is somehow softened — as lines of dancing arpeggios pump up against tuneful leads and ethereal harmonic progressions. Disarmingly quiet passages reduce the level of density and energy with insinuating modulations and vaporous aural forces. Anyone in love with Spacemusic and its specific poetry will want to hear this concert.
Mike Hunter
Music with Space radio show host and multi-instrumentalist, Mike Hunter uses the name Ombient to make live music befitting of any situation. During his many concert outings, he has realized a range of performances — from those of great potent down to the more ethereal and diffuse. Possessed by a unique atmospheric sensitivity, he is currently exploring the sonic territory of Spacemusic’s 1970s Berlin-School — utilizing a number of classic electronic instruments, among them a substantial three cabinet “Synthesizers Dot Come” modular system.
