WE ARE VERY SAD TO ANNOUNCE THAT HECTOR ZAZOU PASSED AWAY ON THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 8TH.
AN AMAZING MUSICIAN IS GONE, AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN IS GONE.
Strange rock, neo classical compositions, world music (from Africa to Central Asia), string quartets, pieces for wind instruments, voices or synthesizers, Hector Zazou had a surprise waiting with each new record, showing his passion for the most unexpected mixes. From the album Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses (1991) till Quadri+Chromies (2006), the list of the musicians and singers who have worked with him is amazing : Jon Hassell, Manu Di Bango, Ryuichi Sakamoto, John Cale, Caroline Lavelle, David Sylvian, Khaled, Lisa Gerrard, Suzanne Vega, Bjork, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, Peter Buck, Jane Birkin, Lisa Germano, Laurie Anderson but also Asia Argento and Gerard Depardieu.
Hector Zazou was a member of Slow Music (with Bill Rieflin, Peter Buck, Robert Fripp, Matt Chamberlain and Fred Chalanor). His album with Katie Jane Garside called Corps Electriques was released in 2007. In the House of Mirrors featuring uzbek and indian musicians plus many guests is now available.
