Trap & Zoid
is formerly a one-human electronic solo project. It's based on a simple
constrain : one take live recording and no mix nor overdub (except "wet wookie dub", some Synthi effects added afterwards from 2:19) . The only
postprocessing allowed is cut and fade to select and to compile the
tracks. This way of working stimulates immediate instant creativity and
leads to a music that is trully antipodal to most usual electronic
releases.
The sound is very present and spontaneous, not really easy listening.
It's raw, wild, dark, alive... and it's just next to you !
Heady melodies and drones install some hypnotic environments, creating
an unique sonic universe, while organic sounds and noises summon
unexpected weird entities.
T&Z's first opus

This netlabel
succesfully released an EMS Synthi compilation,
"The
Synthi Group
Vol.1", featuring the trapezoidal track "gnomes
evasion".
Vol.2 is on the way...
The one who plugs pins and jacks, turns knobs and shakes joystick is a
rock'n'roll musician, currently playing bass and upright bass in a few bands.
His first contact with synthesizers was in 2008, when he started to add
some space sound effects to his band Fungus Imperator's
psychedelic rock.
This would take him further in electronics than he formerly thought. A
growing interest in experimenting with analogue synthesizers was born...
Djp and Boeuf Stroganoff are
kind (and/or mad) enough to enjoy some collaboration with
T&Z. Some incriminating evidence can be found on the Dogmazic
page of La Guerre Des Boutons and on T&Z's
one.
Thank you very much
for reading so far and for your interest in our sonic escapes.
Let's hope the tracks above will make you happy, smart, peaceful and
open.
Come back soon, the playlist is updated
regularly.
Be seing you,
T&Z
The sound's powerful
sharpness is fully enjoyable on quality speakers.
In-ear and headphones are not recommended.
