COMING SOON:





SOUNDSCAPES CONCERT SERIES:                       http://soundscapes.us

=======================================================================

Sunday, September 4, the Soundscapes Concert Series returns to the

Nazareth Center for the Arts with Modulator ESP of the UK.



Modulator Experimental Synthesis Project, a.k.a. Modulator ESP,

performs improvised music that explores the boundaries of dark ambient,

drone, Berlin School sequencing, and noise using modular synthesis,

real-time sampling, sound manipulation, and live looping.  Eschewing

playing along to pre-programmed, structured backing tracks, Modulator

ESP prefers something a bit more freeform.  This is the revelation he

had upon discovering bands like Arc, RMI, Redshift, Airsculpture, and

Arcane who were doing a more retro-styled improvisational take on EM.



Modulator ESP has been described variously as "vintage synth overload

to propel you into the outer reaches of the cosmos" and "one man will

descend to (this) earth in a hail of analogue synth tones; called upon

from the singular consciousness of John Carpenter and Vangelis - like

a 2046 dystopian dream with the optimism of Jean Michael Jarre, and

his penguins."



Modulator ESP loves playing synths because he loves the electronic,

synthetic, other worldly nature of the sounds. This makes Ambient,

Berlin School EM the best style for his interests. He plans to stretch

the boundaries by incorporating some of his progressive influences.



Doors open at 7:30 pm and the concert is at 8:00 pm. The concert is

free. Donations are requested to support the musician and to enable the

Nazareth Center for the Arts to pay operating expenses. The NCA is

located at 30 Belvidere Street, Nazareth, PA 18064 just off of Route

191 on the southwest corner of Belvidere Street and South Spruce

Street. Check the NCA site for parking information.



The Soundscapes Concert Series is the concert companion to the Galactic

Travels radio program on WDIY-FM and to Thought Radio on WMUH-FM and

presents electronic music to the Lehigh Valley. This is the concert

series that presented Robert Rich (California), vidnaObmana (Belgium),

The Ministry of Inside Things (Philadelphia), Richard Lainhart (New

York), Orbital Decay (Quakertown), Mark Jenkins (UK), Mikronesia

(Philadelphia), The Tangent Project (Philadelphia), Technicolor Travel

Agency (Poconos), and Twyndyllyngs (Lehigh Valley) to local audiences.
