Having transcended such genre stereotypes as Berlin School, prog, and krautrock, Wolfram der Spyra has steadily assumed a rightful position as one of Germany's finest exporters of progressive electronic music. Born in the early 60s, Spyra's fascination with radiowaves & broadcast signals, filtered through Eno-esque ambience & 90s dance rhythms birthed his first recording, Home Listening is Killing Clubs. As a regular participant at such festivals as E-Live and Hampshire Jam, Spyra's forged partnerships both live & in performance with Bernd Friedmann, instrumental builder Robert Rutman, Detlef Keller & Mario Schonwalder, as well as playing as part of the Ricochet Gatherings musicians collective.

Spyra's chroma-key atmospheres and tense rhythmic patterns eventually led to a continuing affiliation/collaboration with pioneer Pete Namlook & his Fax imprint, though from the 90s up until today Spyra's produced a slew of fine recordings for such labels as Wigwam, Manikin & Ricochet Dream. His most recent Fax release, January in June, seamlessly marries keyboard prog wizardry to his patented analog fundamentals, demonstrating Spyra's chameleonic habit of straddling numerous soundworlds, a rich, powerful blend of layered post-Tangerine Dreamisms and dense percussive workouts.

	Hello to all: Announcing OTP's own May Sweeps, comprising a veritable trifecta of innovative electronic musicians whose performances promise to be some of the highlights of our already eclectic schedule: > MAY 8 — SPYRA • Germany's finest current import, marrying keyboard/synth prowess to innovative prog style-shifts, post-Berlin School tropes and contemporary rhythm/space trucking. > MAY 15 — ROBERT RICH • Rich's dynamic body of work is already sui generis in the electronica community, culminating in the densely-woven tapestries of his recent Ylang, tribal exotica from the fourth world bleeding across landscapes etched in silicon beauty. > MAY 22 — NORTHERN VALENTINE • Pennsylvania's premier spheric drone masters, using guitars, drums & keyboards to create strangely hauntological climes of twilight zone shadings, dark stars of the id. Seating is limited for all our events, and as pre-sales have already begun, it is strongly advised that anyone wishing to attend purchase tickets in advance to secure a reserved seat — do so here: www.mycommunitytickets.com/organization_info.asp?orgid=1521 And, of course, for all further info: www.onethousandpulses.com We hope to see you here!
