ChamBerlin’s music has been evolving from the South to the North side of Chicago since the late 70s. He moved to Chicago in 1977 from Mi after spending six months in Great Britain, Western and Eastern Europe, the Greek Isles and Scandinavia. His early days on the Chicago music scene found him performing ambient and art music covers and originals. The influx of U.S. and British New Wave and Punk acts and his enduring dedication to the influence of artists such as Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, David Bowie and visual artists Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp, Richard Harrison and the earlier German Expressionists and American Abstract Expressionists, provided ChamBerlin with a potent cocktail, loosening his grasp on any single genre. In 1979 a several day encounter with guitar maestro Robert Fripp, as he toured the US in support of his solo LP release, “Exposure”travelling in a pair of Rambler Ambassador station wagons, making record store appearances, provided the 23 year old artist with an epiphany. Between fetching several large cups of black coffee between performances for Mr. Fripp over a five day period, ChamBerlin and bandmate, Jim Nitti, chatted with Robert about what was occurring in the hotbed of NYC's music scene; JG Bennett’s philosophy and the Sherborne Experiment and being a small, mobile, intelligent unit. It was later in 1980 that ChamBerlin and another bandmate, Ron Rutherford, attended a Kraftwerk concert and decided to abandon guitars and drums and form Scarlet Architect, the seminal all synth techno-pop band; first of its kind in Chicago. They had achieved the "small, mobile, intelligent unit status" Fripp had spoken about. SA released their first EP in 1981 and it’s single, Rose Grey spent ten consecutive weeks in the International Rock Pool’s Top Ten. He then disbanded SA and became keyboardist for Al Jourgensen’s Ministry. ChamBerlin's music has been used in numerous industrial as well as dramatic films. He was nominated for an Emmy in 1980 and won a First Place Award for best soundtrack in the Industrial Films category at the Chicago International Film Festival in 1991. Since the early 90s he has performed for and produced CDs for Projekt Records' Arcanta. He has performed live with Chicago's psychedelic tour de force, The Luck of Eden Hall (Fruits de Mer recording artists) and is still writing and recording music for Scarlet Architect with Seattle keyboardist Ron Rutherford. "ChamBerlin" music is a new direction. It draws heavily from the techno, electro and industrial genres that have been his "creative home" now for over 30 years. But presently the influences of dubstep, hip hop and Brian Eno's take on "slicing" has made a significant impact on ChamBerlin's sound and compositions. His recent collaboration with prominent Chicago DJ/artist, Glenn Russell and wife, poet/performance artist Gay Guard-chamberlin have further propelled is sound into neew and singular expressions. Lyrically he deals with issues common to humanity's experience of a post-prosperous, post-apocalyptic, homogenous shopping mall environment that we have come to call civilization. But there is optimism in the music as well; an optimism based in the human spirit of creativity, critical thinking, memory and a profound respect and passion for mystery. ChamBerlin's first one-man art exhibit in Chicago in the Autumn of 1980, was entitled, "Banners Against the Annihilation of Mystery". ChamBerlin says, "I'm comfortable with perceiving everything that I have created, visual art, music, poetry, plays, soundtracks, since those days in late '79 and 80 to this moment , as the same kind of 'banners'. At least I hope that they function in that way."
