Who is Merv? : The British son of a world-class clarinetist, and holder of a degree in Performance and Composition from the prestigious American Berklee College of Music, Merv De Peyer spent the first few years following his studies in New York, earning a living as a very unelectronic jazz pianist. Indeed, his first brush with synthesizers was not a success. At Berklee he signed up for Electronic Music Composition lectures, but was immediately put off. "The lecturers were like scientists, dressed in white coats. They said 'if you come along to every class for six months and learn all the synth theory, then maybe, just maybe, we'll let you touch this' -- and they unveiled an ARP 2600. But the music it produced just sounded like a lot of ducks quacking to me... So I only went twice!"

ChxllSeeker is a band and a DVD label.
Like a record label except producing DVDs.
Working with artists who (with help from the ChxllSeeker team)
create the music and visual material for their own DVD releases.
To be marketed to the now 100,000,000 people who have
a 5.1 surround sound home entertainment
system in their living room.

"The most exciting element is to explore music in
surround sound. 5.1 mixes on DVD allow us the
opportunity to hear music in a completely different way".

ChxllSeeker is currently focused on recording a new DVD album "World In Eclipse".
The mood and feel of the "sound" they create can be characterized as:
'What a sunny warm day sounds like'. Strong memorable melodies, full rich jazz
harmony, groove focused percussion and dynamic instrumental solos.
Always attempting to fulfil their artistic aspirations and improve their abilities though perseverance.
ChxllSeeker's end goal is to perform and record uplifting positive music..
