WDIY's Space Music Program airs every Thursday at 11:04 pm.
|
cyberCHUMP is the electro-organic duo of Jim Skeel and Mark G.E. They
explore aural soundscapes of rhythm and moment. Subterrainian
atmospherics give way to driving space melodies, at once a mix of
science beats, ambient texture, and cinematic themes.
The duo's music evokes place, time, and mood, utilizing the studio as an instrument to enhance traditional organic instruments. Jim tends to focus on electric guitar and keyboards. Mark tends to work with bass and keyboards. They count Brian Eno, Harold Budd, and Robert Fripp among their influences. Their interests include cinema, exploration, and moving forward. |

After touring the USA in a choir in his youth, Paul began to compose
and perform electronic, experimental music in late 1970s. A leading
figure in the UK electronic music scene, he released his early albums
on cassette (remember those?) and performed at the legendary first UK
Electronica festival in 1983. He has, over the years, released many new
age / chillout and electronic albums, often in collaboration with other
musicians.
With an emphasis on live spontaneity, Paul has performed at Jodrell Bank Planetarium (UK), the Alpha Centauri Festival (Holland), Different Skies (Arizona, USA), the Harmonia Festival (Spain) and at the Ricochet Gathering events in Italy, Croatia, Romania and more. With collaborations that include the bands Binar (with Andy Pickford), Joint Intelligence Committee (with Phil Smillie), Ideation (with Pete Ruczynski) and Headshock (with Tim Rafferty), he has gained a vast amount of experience in both composition, production and performance. Sound On Sound magazine regularly reaps the benefit of this long experience: Paul is a highly respected reviewer of musical instruments, effects and software. Paul has also notched up programming credits for Roland, Access, DSI and Waldorf and has provided technical input to Steinberg, Access, Waldorf and most recently UK company Sequentix, in the development of the P3 and Cirklon sequencers. Turning to music and writing full-time, he has recently embraced the world of Apple, running Logic, Ableton Live, Wavelab and softsynths such as Omnisphere, Reaktor, Alchemy, Predator and Kontakt. Of course, the hardware side of the studio is still close to hand, integrated beautifully with the Mac thanks to the Sequentix Cirklon sequencer. Paul has been a Special Focus on Galactic Travels before: |
