Concerts by Chuck van Zyl take each listener on their own personal journey. His many years of music making has yielded a range of substantial live appearances, collaborations and album releases. Realized in the specific poetry of the Berlin-School his expressions draw on a unique understanding of texture, atmosphere and scale. As synthesizer harmonies rise and fall, in passages dark and light, an unexpected beauty emerges. With its deep space gateways and brilliant sequencer breakdowns, from the heights of heedlessness, on down to its quietly consuming fields, his music invites wonder. It is in this remarkable realm that we are asked to give in to the sensation of sound, to simply be with one’s own true self.
Perhaps better known as host of Star's End - WXPN's revered radio program of Ambient Music, or as founder of The Gatherings - Philadelphia's premiere concert series of innovative music, Chuck van Zyl has also been producing his own electronic realizations since the mid-1980s. He has played live at a variety of venues and issued numerous studio works and concert recordings - all in service to an enduring impulse for expression.
