Modulator ESP In Concert Sunday

[Bill Fox]

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 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 of 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.
