About:
Chris Meyer first learned how to play modular synthesizers as a teenager in the 1970s. He went on to be an engineer at Sequential Circuits (where he created Vector Synthesis), Digidesign, Marion Systems (Tom Oberheim), and Roland R&D US, teach synthesis at UCLA Extension, and write for magazines including Music Technology and Keyboard. More recently, he started Learning Modular as a way to teach others how to use modular synthesizers, and co-wrote the recent modular synthesis book Patch & Tweak with Kim Bjørn.
Chris freely mixes samples and synthesis, creating a hybrid blend of electronic music with influences from world music and spoken word. He previously released the ensemble album “Alias Zone: Lucid Dreams”, which won the AFIM award for best independent electronic instrumental/ambient album of 2002. After a long detour in the video and film industry, he is now making music again, both as a solo artist and with the ensemble Meridian Alpha. 
His Data Cult Audio set consists of a series of solo works Chris performed on his modular-based live performance system. There are four distinct sections:
The solo on “I Have Tried” was played by Jim Coker of Meridian Alpha.
