RENE AHOUD


As the album’s producer René contributes not only his technical expertise as the project’s only certified ‘sonologist’ and owner of the Klankbeeld Amsterdam studio, but foremost he adds to the album the qualities of an outstanding musician and a refined composer. Some of René’s past musical projects include composing soundscapes for theatrical dance and performing arts projects, as well as working as a technician for other pop productions; making this album the first ever project, under which he gladly would sign his name.

CLAUDIO TAPIA


Born in Chile he was raised in the Netherlands and in the United States.

As a teenager he began composing and performing with several bands in the state of Texas. Partly due to his diverse background Claudio soon became aware of what he now calls “the music in words” – the power of language, as expressed in Avenging Space’s The Tyranny of the Weak. The composition is built around Pablo Neruda’s view that humanity might eventually lose everything, itself even, but that it will never lose the words.

MARTIN van LIER


A self-proclaimed ‘retro-rocker’ with a fascination for electronic music.

Martin’s background as a rock guitarist is a clear presence on the Avenging Space album. He adds a warmth and an organic quality that pulls the work away from a mere technical project and places it in a category of its own. Martin’s contribution to the album in many instances is one of closing the gap that too often exists between electronics and the blues guitar.
