STAR'S END Update 03.09.25

[Star'sEndRadio]

Moved by the creative impulse Chuck van Zyl is continually re-imagining the potential of his music. The two tracks (plus two bonus tracks) presented on TRANSIENCE (71:25) are meant to dwell in the most vibrant parts of our imagination. Propelled by machine dreams and nocturnal musings this studio endeavor ponders the promise of the future and our coming travels there. Drifting between synthesizer states in a darksome minor key chords sigh, then ascend skyward over building banks of sequencer runs. Pulsing patterns circle and cycle in motor precision as celestial synth-bourne leads and spacey spiraling effects further charge this work. Amidst the metronome tempo and echoing arpeggios TRANSIENCE enjoys a deep zone mind melt. With so many sounds in motion it is here that Chuck van Zyl advances vibrantly in his own striking assertion of life. The energy arcing and sparking through his TRANSIENCE is an appeal to the psyche. Somewhere within its sonic logic, mirage collage and electronic harmonics this album reveals itself to the listener - in a vivid, sonorous language of symbols and ideas.
