During his illustrious career, Dyers has performed, recorded and toured locally and internationally with many great artists such as, the late Basil Coetzee, Winston Mankunku, Abdullah Ibrahim, Robbie Jansen & Mccoy Mrubata to name but a few. Dyers music is inspired and influenced by the rhythms & melodies of Cape Town where he was born as well as the people who live there. Dyers has a unique guitar style which maintains an acoustic and reminiscent ancestral sound that captures the guitar strumming of the century-old Cape traditional and folk music.

Hilton Schilder Hilton Schilder was born in 1959 in Lotus River, Cape Town. Born as he was into the musical families of the Schilder’s and Africa’s, Hilton soon found his own sound and developed a musical career of his own. Hilton’s career took of in the 1980’s in partnership with Mac Mckenzie as The Genuines, launching an international reputation that has on numerous occasions over the years made Hilton part of the international jazz scene. As the initiator and driving force behind the band Iconoclast and as a composer and regular member of the band Robbie Jansen’s Sons of Table Mountain, Hilton Schilder has been part of both the international and national South African music scene for decades. Hilton appears on more than 23 cd’s apart from three of his own. His debut album No Turning Back (2003) was nominated for the SAMA Award as best jazz Contemporary album. Although Hilton has gained much respect for his skills as a pianist and composer, he actually plays several instruments. This becomes apparent on his and Alex Van Heerden’s album Future Cape (2006). On this album Hilton’s musical skills shows in his use of as diverse instruments as Khoi mouth-bow, guitar, canter, piano, Navaho flute etc. Hilton Schilder’s last album Elements of Surprise (2007) is a solo piano album where Hilton plays his own compositions, both present and past ones. Currently Hilton is working on two different concepts. Hilton is working on a cd based on his own compositions played by his quartet, The Hilton Schilder Group.

He went back to Berlin, and thus started a journey through Germany and most parts of Europe during 2003/2004 and part of 2005. Tertius travelled to other parts of the world during this period but regularly returned to Germany to continue his work on the project.

PHOTOGRAPHER
Because time is out there, eaten by light.
-Norma Cole, “Spinoza in her Youth”
After three years in a leading role in “Isidingo” (The number one daily drama in South Africa) and becoming a popular household name, Tertius decided it was time for a major change. Seeking a new challenge he returned to his first passion.
A man’s work is little more than a journey through his life, in order to rediscover (through the detours of art), those two or three great but simple images that first found access to his heart.
-Albert Camus

Photography and the nature of light was something that fascinated him from an early age. Growing up on a farm in a remote part of South Africa Tertius got his hands on a faded Basic Photography manual and a primitive box camera while rummaging through a pile of rubbish that his father was about to burn. He build his first primitive darkroom at the age of twelve and continued to explore the intriguing relationship between time and light, seeking to capture that single ‘magical moment’ as reflected by the human condition, ever since.
