Steve Tyler is best known as a hurdy gurdy player, renowned for his rhythmic
and inventive playing, and is equally at home with early music, traditional melodies
or modern compositions. He has performed with such diverse artists as English folk
singer Jackie Oates, German industrial/electronic musician F.M.Einheit and South
African puppeteer John Roberts, and has played for theatrical productions (including
Comus and Secret Theatre at The Globe's Sam Wanamaker Playhouse), historical and
traditional dances, mixed media performances and worked with storytellers Clive
Fairweather and Dave Oliver.
For many years a performer of medieval music, his main interest is in patterns,
rhythms, the interweaving of different parts and sonic structures, and to this end
works on dark multitrack music mixing hurdy gurdies with dulcimer, reed organ,
cittern and diverse instruments, inspired by patterns in nature, mathematics and
the imagination.
He performs as a duo with Katy Marchant (bagpipes, recorder, shawm, voice) or with
their band Woodwose, and is a member of trans-cultural collaboration Meridianum
Ensemble.
