Join us for a very special Side Yard Sounds with Dan Petry and Mark Snyder!

Tickets available here.

Daniel Petry makes beat-driven ambient built from plinking Euclidean melodies, fuzzy bass and slow-moving pads, with fragments of film dialogue drifting over the top. The music moves between subtle club pulse and long-form immersion; rhythmic but unhurried. His sets are semi-improvised: core harmonies and vocal samples are prepared, while patterns and structure evolve live. Originally from the UK, with time spent in Berlin and now based in Chicago, Petry draws on the experimental edge of British electronic music while keeping his sound personal and understated. He has released on Third Ear Recordings and independently, and previously wrote for Resident Advisor.

Mark Snyder’s shows have been described as a “fantastic and colorful sonic journey of musical storytelling” brought to life with a menagerie of sounds created, reflected, decorated, found, and processed. Ambient tales that float in abstract light and images, sometimes ambulating into joy, sadness, or tragedy before drifting away into silence.

Mark Snyder: Accordion, Theremin, Clarinet, etc.

Mark makes music and art for himself, clients and friends in his Simpleton Sound studio in Maywood Illinois, helps his students do the same at Northern Illinois University and is the audio producer for the Southeast Asian Crossroads podcast.
