About Me

Violinists play concertos, not breakbeat electronic music. But Chance's End, led by Bay Area violinist Ryan Avery, is about to change that. Influenced by artists such as Hybrid, Crystal Method, and BT, Chance's End is fusing solo violin with electronic music, bringing it into the 21st century.

Ryan formed his Chance's End production alias in the summer of 2000 in his hometown of Boulder, Colorado. The Chance's End breakbeat sound is built around acoustic and electric violin ensembles, infused with strong melodic hooks, and polished with a thick sonic texture that dance-floor breaks do not normally provide. Indeed, Chance's End usually produces music oriented to living room listening, rather than peak-of-the-night anthems.

The press loved the 2004 Chance's End album Set Me Free. The Westword of Denver grooved on its “sophisticated choices in arrangement and melody” and called Chance's End “a must-see for any self-respecting beat-lover”. The opening track "Going On" was chosen as Producer Track of the Month and given a favorable full-page review in Computer Music Magazine by producer Tim Oliver of DB Records.

Chance's End is currently in the studio producing The Outsider, the new album to be released late 2007. The 2004 CD release Set Me Free and its vinyl single, Skyway, are currently available through the website www.chancesend.com.
