We start with an announcement from my friend Chuck van Zyl!!


Chuck van Zyl returns to The Gatherings Concert Series for a Special Benefit Event on Sunday 15 September 2024 marking the 200th Anniversary of St Mary’s Hamilton Village.

Using a variety of modern analog synthesizers and sequencers, and operating at an emotional and enthusiastic pitch, Chuck van Zyl realizes music that possesses as much the buzz and crackle of electricity as it does the frigid depths of space.
Offering vivid synthesized sonorities the music’s appeal lies in its Berlin-School values, and in this musician’s ability to create an uncommonly intimate and absorbing listening experience. Anyone in love with Spacemusic and its very specific poetry will want to hear his work in concert.

This event will also present the work of video artist Neil Cippon, who will generate projections of original, ever-evolving graphics on the interior features of the St Mary’s sanctuary space – all in time with the improvised live musical expressions of Chuck van Zyl.

New T-Shirt News: The Gatherings Concert Series limited edition 2024 Season T-Shirt will be available to attendees at our merch table on 15 September 2024.

Box Set in detail:

CD I: Psychonavigation I (1994): The beginning of the collaboration between Laswell and
Namlook. Melancholic and introspective compositions, the endless solitude of space.

CD II: Psychonavigation II (1995): The second album continues the exploration of atmospheric sounds and electronic landscapes. This release features more complex textures and more clearly structured compositions while maintaining the characteristic ambient and experimental electronic elements of the series.

CD III: Psychonavigation III (1997): The third album delves deeper into atmospheric sound and offers even more diverse sonic palettes. The mutual understanding between the musicians became even deeper, and it seems that on this album they found their unique language of communication. Rich and multilayered compositions where Laswell and Namlook continue to explore the boundaries of ambient and electronic music. Bold
decisions on “Reentry”, “Dark Matter”, and “Event Horizon”, boundless experimentation,
and creative freedom.

CD IV: Psychonavigation IV (1999): The fourth album continues the theme of deep and intro- spective soundscapes, but with the addition of new elements and experimental approaches. The sounds become even more complex and mesmerizing, faster-than-light speed, and worlds of other dimensions.

CD V: Psychonavigation V (2002): The fifth album concludes the series with a focus on a more structured approach to ambient music creation. The endless depth and cosmic melancholy remain but with a more pronounced sense of completion. This is the fifth key to eternity… not a landing, but a final transition to a new universe.

Infinite Fog Productions is thrilled to announce the long-awaited reissue of the legendary
Psychonavigation series by Bill Laswell and Pete Namlook in a 5CD Box format!
From 1994 to 2002, the brilliant producers Bill Laswell and Pete Namlook released a series of
five works titled Psychonavigation — a rare gem for fans of heavy ambient collaboration. Master- fully playing with genres and refusing to be confined by any boundaries, they were mutually in awe of each other’s talents and delivered numerous significant projects, including the iconic Outland, The Dark Side Of The Moog, and of course, Psychonavigation. This stunning palette of musical styles ranges from Space, Dark, and Drone Ambient to Electro and cosmic Down- tempo, through dense layers of Dub to almost industrial, mechanical techno spaces. These five albums are like personal spacecraft traveling at faster-than-light speeds, carrying five keys to eternity and infinity.

The reissue anthology comes in a 5CD box set, with each disc housed in its own envelope, featuring a brand-new design and a complete set of audio materials. The package also includes an exclusive poster with an essay about the project, written by Bill Laswell in Winter 2024.

Now, 30 years after the release of the first part of Psychonavigation, the anthology is available in a single box!
