Every Saturday Night/Sunday Morning from 1:00AM until 6:00AM will find Chuck van Zyl presenting the live broadcast of Star's End - WXPN's legendary late-night radio program of Space music. With the December 4 broadcast being preempted by special programming Chuck has a rare night off and will spend it at ElectricLattéLand, beginning with a Q&A at 11PM moderated by Jeff Towne and joined by friends and fans from far and wide, and then embarking upon an epic live Electronic Music concert to fill the five hours usually occupied by Star's End.
Realized in the specific poetry of the Berlin-School sonic creations by Chuck van Zyl draw on a unique understanding of texture, atmosphere and scale. With its deep-space gateways and brilliant sequencer breakdowns, from the heights of heedless improvisation, on down to its quietly consuming fields, his work opens a zone of one's own. Gliding the spaceways, Chuck van Zyl presents pulsing passages of rhythmic flight. Slow chords hold forth, while cycling sequencer notes echo out amidst lithe keyboard leads. As synthesizer harmonies rise and fall, in passages dark and light, an unexpected beauty emerges. It is in this remarkable realm that we are asked to give in to the sensation of sound and connect with our inner realm.
Perhaps best known as host of Star's End - one of the world's most revered radio programs 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, in collaboration and solo, 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. His ambitious five-hour concert endeavor from ElectricLattéLand will mark the completion of a year’s long aspiration.
The Rotunda presents a Free real-time livestream event on Saturday December 3 into Sunday December 4, 2022 from 11PM-6AM (EST). Featuring a casual Q&A followed by a five hour performance by Chuck van Zyl, this special online event originates from ElectricLattéLand in Philadelphia.
