Wavestar is a British New Age Music Synthesizer band. In the mid-1980s, Sheffielder John Dyson ("JD"), an analytical chemist, answered a magazine advertisement from someone who was interested in musical technology and was looking for like minded souls. John Dyson's melodic style complemented David Ward-Hunt's sequenced based rhythms. When the pair seemed to spend more time copying tapes for listeners than writing new material, they decided to produce a cassette tape release of their work under the name of "Wavestar".
