Best known as host of STAR'S END (the renowned radio program of spacemusic dreamscapes) and as coordinator of the Gatherings (Philadelphia's premiere concert series of innovative music), Chuck van Zyl has also been making his own unique style of electronic music since 1985. However profoundly inspired by the electronic spacemusic of the mid '70s, it was ultimately through the mentoring of Nightcrawlers founder Peter Gulch that van Zyl put together a home studio and began producing his own music.
