Hello... I am Liquid Zen, or on a more personal level... Roland St. John Perez. I was signed to ambient recording label WAVEFORM CORP. in 1999. My first release was the self titled Liquid Zen. If you are looking for smooth, bubbling, hypnotic soundscapes... you'll love LZ. Layers of synthesizers, drones, whispy vocals, tripped lyrics, groovy breakbeats encompass Liquid Zen. I now have my own indie label SEVENTY THREE RECORDS, where you'll find my second CD "Elements @ Loop 10" . Feel free to also check out my other groups at WWW.SEVENTYTHREERECORDS.COM or at apple itunes, Rhapsody, Sony Connect, and Napster. Titles include SEVENTY THREE, MOSAICO, ADAME and more to come. Enjoy the ride!!!----------------------------------
L'Envoi
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death - however mutable man may be able to make them - our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfilment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Stanley Kubrick
SeventyThree Records is pleased to anounce the release of LIQUID ZEN's long awaited "Oscilloscope"

It's bean a while since I've popped in to say hello. Just thought I'd see how everything is going and share the first piece of art I've been able to complete in many months. I'm still busy working away on my Novel. I'm halfway through the first rough draft and anxiously looking forward to exhuming mythos, death & carnage of the last half of the epic.
Hope all is well. Happy new year. I hope it's productive beyond all measure.
