Post Description

Muzikant uit sheffield, tegenwoordig woonachtig in schotland, begon zijn carriere met david ward-hunt onder de naam wavestar. Door muzikale onenigheid ging het tweetal in de jaren 80 

uit elkaar.

In the 1990s John Dyson, together with Anthony Thrasher, Paul Ward and Mark Thrasher founded Surreal to Real, a consortium of electronic musicians formed with the aim of producing, 

promoting and marketing their own material. In an April 1994 interview with Paul White, for Sound on Sound Magazine, John commented "We've always worked well together since we first 

met, which was around 1984. Anthony Thrasher and Stephan Whitlan were at university and were helping with the technical side of UK Electronica that year. Paul Ward was the one who put 

the ad in the music magazine, and about 20 or 30 of us, including Neil Thompson and Shaun D'Lear, used to get together in a pub and talk, or play electronic music. It was a brilliant 

ideal of Paul's, and eventually, the numbers dwindled down to around half a dozen of us who were really serious and that formed the nucleus of the Surreal team as it stands now".

In April 1998 John Dyson was awarded the "Schwingungen" International award for his complete work in Electronic music. The song "Crystal Ashes" from the CD "Out of Time" was voted best 

song of 1997.

On July 19, 1999, David Ward-Hunt died.

Throughout the '80s and '90s John produced a series of critically acclaimed concept albums and currently 2004 has his own recording studio in Scotland and his own recording label 

"Soddett Hall". He has been working with Shaun Michael D'Lear and the D'Lear band in the studio and on tracks for himself.

On the 18th of October 2008, John performed his first concert in many years at the Doghouse in Dundee, Scotland at the 25th Anniversary of the first UK Electronica Event.
