Sandia Soundscapes co-founder Chris Meyer will be kicking off its second season with his unique blend of melodic ambient, world, and electronic music under the name Alias Zone at FUSION | The Cell on Saturday, January 9, at 7 PM (Doors at 6:30 PM).

To paint these aural tapestries, he freely combines field recordings, acoustic percussion, and sounds from both acoustic and electronic instruments, including his speciality: the modular synthesizer, which resembles an old-fashioned telephone switchboard yet allows him to create custom instruments and sounds. Chris will be bringing an extended performance system for this evening’s concert, where he will play new work from his upcoming album in quadraphonic sound.

Opening the evening will be Tony Obr. Tony is a musician, sound designer, composer, visual artist, and educator. His work is situated at the confluence of music, art, technology, and performance, focusing on innovative uses of sound and the development of interactive, generative systems for electronic music performance and contemporary dance. A professor of music technology at Arizona State University, his musical performances combine deep drones, layers of washed out sound, minimal grooves, and occasional glitchy loops, all driven by hardware synthesizers, samplers, and groove boxes.

Both Chris and Tony performed at Steve Roach’s Soundquest Festival in Tucson this past August. They will be playing extended sets for this evening, making this a truly magical night displaying the talents of two cinematic electronic music virtuosos.

Sandia Soundscapes features electronic and electro-acoustic music that will stimulate your ears, eyes, and mind. It will appeal to lovers of ambient, cinematic, and other creative non-mainstream styles; fans of jazz, classical, world, and other adventurous music will also find a home at our events.
