Electronic musician & radio DJ Chuck van Zyl has long been a part of the spacemusic community in & around Philadelphia. Host of the long running radio program on WXPN, Star's End, and organizer/proprietor of the nearly two-decades-old Gatherings series of concerts, van Zyl's a veritable fixture across the many interfaces linking classic Berlin School, ambient, krautrock-influenced space, and longform atmospheric music. As a performer either solo or collaborating with others (long since noted on his early 90s Synkronos label's cassette releases, and over a number of CDs & CDRs), van Zyl has plied his trade most effectively via his arsenal of trusty analog synths and vintage keys, switching modes between Tangerine Dream/Klaus Schulze affectations and other, more obscure cosmic couriers with ease. His new release, Memoryspace, will be available at this performance, and will no doubt inform the chugging space-surge of his OTP debut.

van Zyl's OTP debut will also feature Mike Hunter, aka drone/ambient guitar improvisor Ombient. Hunter started his musical career playing his father's electric bass through an old analog tape delay, producing strange and disturbing space/mood music. Ombient’s music, being of a live and improvisational nature, is representative of the feeling of the moment in which it is performed, using guitar, processed and layered with digital looping equipment, to produce near-symphonic levels of density.
