Computerchemist - icon one

(New Age/Berlin School)

computerchemist is the ongoing solo project of Dave Pearson, who lives in Székesfehérvár, Hungary, after moving from the UK in 2008.

Over the last 25 years Dave's music has been strongly influenced by "classic" Berlin School performers such as Tangerine Dream (mostly from the '72-'86 period) and Klaus Schulze, as well as taking inspiration from newer, more contemporary musicians with a diversity ranging from The Mars Volta to Csaba Vedres.

computerchemist's second album was released on January 1st 2008. taking the listener on a voyage on sonic discovery, this is sure to delight fans of the Berlin School genre.

from the energy and light of the title track "icon one" to the darkness and entropy of "icon zero"; the past memories recalled by "timethorns" and the focal centre of the album "chaos theory" - where a small, insignificant event can cause a massive shift of everything - computerchemist weaves an evocative blend of instrumental synthesis which is sure to delight fans of the EM genre. The last track, "the message", carries a simple premise; we all have within us the power to change the future.

In June 2007, a two hour special show dedicated to computerchemist's music was broadcast on Tecuan Radio, an internet radio station based in Mexico City. They played a world exclusive preview of "icon one" in addition to some tracks from "atmospheric" on their electronic music show "Después del Eclipse"

Recommended if you like Berlin School, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze.
