Der Spyra (aka Wolfram Spyra) is a German synthesist with
strong roots in the Berlin-School of Spacemusic. Embracing
these essential concepts, he creates electronic realizations with
a transportive quality. Mixing dreamy electronics with enticing
synthetic percussion, Spyra delivers an extremely appealing
music. Charged with rhythm and catchy melodies, Spyra's music
brings the ideas of classic 1970's Spacemusic into the present
tense.

Spyra began his career in the early 1990's constructing
soundscape installations at various locations in Germany. He
has collaborated with a wide range of visual artists, musicians,
producers and DJs and has released over 14 albums -
beginning in 1995 with "Home Listening is Killing Clubs".
Through Pete Namlook, Spyra released a series of CD's on the
FAX label dedicated to various forms of electromagnetic waves,
of which "Sferics" was the first. These early releases showed
Spyra developing a fresh approach to Electronic Music that
combined classic influences with contemporary and modern
elements.

Der Spyra makes his east-coast concert debut in Philadelphia at
The Gatherings Concert Series on Saturday 24 March 2007.
Following the concert, Der Spyra is scheduled to play live on the
03.25.07 broadcast of STAR'S END.
