 Chad Hoefler
Born and raised in southeastern Ohio, Chad Hoefler spent
much of his youth chasing insects and spiders and overturning
rocks to uncover strange and novel worlds. He also dedicated
a sizeable portion of his youth to music. At the age of
6, Chad began taking formal guitar lessons, which was followed
by 9 years of classical piano instruction. Chad also participated
in vocal choirs and other musical acts associated with
his education, which exposed him to diverse musical instruments
and forms.
However it was a marriage between Chad's fascination with
biological and cosmological phenomena, which Chad describes
as having a "sinuous elegance and haunting beauty" and
the influence that sound has on one's state of mind that
has shaped his interests as a musician. "We really
tend to underappreciate just how influential sound can
be on our brain chemistry", explains Chad.
In 2004, Chad entered the ambient arena by releasing his
debut CD, Twilight in the Offing, on Hypnos Recordings.
Chad has followed up this highly praised work with a sophomore
release entitled, Quiet Glow, which can be found on the
Lotuspike label. Ambient pioneer Robert Rich gets post-production
credits on both releases. Chad is currently developing
new ideas for future projects.
