Cyndee Lee Rule

Cyndee Lee Rule is a classically-trained violinist who has performed at such prestegious venues as Lincoln Center, the Tweeter Center, the First Union Center and Trenton War Memorial. She has performed as a first violinist for the Philharmonic of Southern NJ and is a classical violin instructor.

Although her main focus had been classical for many years, her meeting with Hawkwind's Nik Turner during his Fall 2003 tour with US spacerock band Spaceseed, would shift her direction into a completely different realm.

John Pack of Spaceseed invited Cyndee to join the band for their Fall 2004 tour with Nik. She also joined their Fall 2005 tour, this time hosting Hawkwind's Harvey Bainbridge. Cyndee's compositional skills and violin playing are featured on Spaceseed and Harvey's CD "Empire of the Night" due out in June 2006.

After the Fall 2004 tour with Nik and Spaceseed, Doug McMahon of Philadelphia-area spacerock band Scattered Planets, invited Cyndee to join his band. With ever-changing members one never knows what to expect, but the core of the sound comes from the programmed synths and video-game atmosphere created by Doug. Cyndee adds a spacey element by using heavy effects on her violin, while her husband Jeff Nutkowitz switches from glissando guitar to bamboo flute for added ambiance.

Shortly after joining Scattered Planets, Steven Davies-Morris approached Cyndee for session work on Systems Theory's debut album "Soundtracks for Imaginary Movies". Steven went on to produce and engineer "UFOsmosis", and Cyndee and Steven have many more projects in the works, including Systems Theory's 2nd CD "Codetalkers". Greg Amov of Systems Theory also made a tremendous contribution to UFOsmosis, providing wonderful compositions for Cyndee to add violin to.
