Official site

John Dyson is a UK musician specialising in sweeping electronica landscapes, rhythmic and melodic synthesiser music. His music could variously be described as New Age and World music in parts.

A founding member of Wavestar, whose first appearance at the UK Electronica festival in 1985 was a sensation, John has now formed his own label Soddett Hall and is forging ahead as a solo artist...still hard ‘at play’ creating not only the music he loves to listen to but also the music that he loves to perform.

John has been asked to provide a ‘Christmas’ track (or two) for the Stefan Schulze podcast project and also there may be a special track for Koos at the EM Portal site jukebox, as a personal thank you. It will be either an experimental JD track from the past, or a ‘live’ performance from himself or Wavestar….but, as the Star Trek computer used to say, he is…"working"!!!

JD has also been trying to ‘clean up’ his computer system, as they’re getting pretty ancient now so to speak (like me…JD!!) and replacements need to be investigated!!! Buy an album!”

JD is doing an interview via phone on the 31st October on the Hawke Chill Out Sessions show.
