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.

12 May 2012 - Message from John

Things are still in state of ‘flux’ re moving house etc and the ‘office’ computer finally giving up the ghost (!) but we have back-up (!) the only thing is that we are low on ‘physical’ stock of the Aquarelle album; we are thinking of trying to get a small run done of this and other albums that are out of stock (as we still get asked for them), if possible for them to be duplicated, as all the artwork is not now available. It may be possible in these economic conditions, we will check on the costs; but if all else fails there is the download option from MZ.

Thanks for your continued support.

09 October 2011 - Sad news from John

"I am so sorry to have to tell you that my beloved Jack passed away peacefully, and comfortably, in his own bed at home at 0220 on Saturday 08 October. He was in no discomfort or distress; thanks to the ministrations of the District Nursing staff and Marie Curie nurses, all of whom, along with our local medical and support team have been absolutely beyond first class in the help given to us over this sad period.

Much love to everyone out there who has also given their support, love and best wishes during what has been a very difficult time.

All business transactions are on hold until 12 October. I am sure you will understand."
