Paul Sykes is a lifelong synthesist and live performer presenting faithful, immersive renditions of classic electronic music from the 1970s and beyond. His show, Hexaphonic, features iconic tracks by Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Giorgio Moroder, Jeff Wayne, Robert Miles, and more, brought to life in 6-channel surround sound. Combining meticulous sound design with expressive performance, Paul recreates these legendary works with stunning depth and detail—placing you inside the music as it moves around and through the space.
Performed on a hybrid rig of analog synthesizers and modern production tools, Hexaphonic reimagines the golden age of synth music using cutting-edge spatial audio. As you listen, sweeping textures, pulsing sequences, and soaring melodies travel through the room, creating a 360° sonic experience that surrounds you from every angle.
Active since 1985, Paul has built a reputation for delivering emotionally rich performances that stay true to the spirit of the originals while adding a fresh, immersive dimension. His deep respect for the source material is matched by his technical expertise, allowing you to hear these iconic tracks as if for the first time—reimagined, re-energized, and all around you.
Hexaphonic marks the launch of an ambitious new live series, with hundreds of shows to come. Whether you grew up with these sounds or are discovering them anew, this is your chance to step inside the music and experience classic synth tracks in surround.
