   About Zoon Van Snook
"After spending some time smear testing peacocks for the Lebanese government, I realized at the age of 24 that the truth was stranger, that is to say less prevalent, than fiction. I interpreted this to mean that it is fine to lie and subsequently bullshitted my way through the interview and before long they trusted me enough to leave me alone with the bodies!.......prison, is indeed, also stranger than fiction. A short period of my life was spent as a cartoon tramp in an attempt to try and solve the social issue of 2 dimensional sexual apathy among the flat-less. Up until this point, my life was like a badly written screenplay for a film about fuck all". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The personal failings documented above (Taken from ‘The Chronicles of Zoon Van’ by T. Mallon) have led to and informed the compositions you are currently listening to. After prostituting his keyboard wares to numerous bands in the South west, the summer of 2007 saw ZVS taking bold measures in stepping out alone. A passion for Genre-Spanning melody, field recordings, found sound and electronics combined with the utility of guerrilla techniques (encompassing household objects) has spat ZVS face first into the sphere of criticism in the creation of affably sinister sonic sketches and ambionic audio montage. Currently working or collaborating with Malakai, Canola Tenderfoot, New Acoustics, Diego Chavez... So roll up for a musical journey of jousting and Onanism. F@ckin' do it! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click 'Play' on the joy pad below to hear an interview and specially commissioned sounds that I did for BBC Bristol Uncovered, followed by a tune. (Just for the record, it is my Birth Certificate-not Passport-that is Belgian).

Mate,
The new video is very powerful stuff - it made me think about half remembered memories (a night time flight over a city, or sitting in a van with my old bandmates, driving through London, watching the night lights...). It's simple, but that's where the charm is i reckon - it lets your mind fill in the blanks!
It has the same nostalgic impact that the..Boards manage to conjur.
I'm rambling, i'll get back to watching shit TV....

Nice one.

Hey mate,

Love the offbeat melody on Troublesome Trucks - am i out of touch, or is that a new song?
It's exactly the type of musical insanity/sweet beats that we have come to expect.

Excuse the shameless self promotion but i have just uploaded a new song - Pluto and Proserpine - let me know what you think. It's packed with agreeable blips, bloops and glitches!

Thanks and enjoy the sunshine.
