Through : :' his solo percussion music, his regular bands Dans les Arbres, ': ,: Huntsville and MURAL, and countless other collaborations, he has :, : redefined the role of percussion and expanded the possibilites : :' of his instruments in a highly personal way. In his four solo ': ,: percussion records, starting with 'Percussion Music' released on :, : SOFA in 2004, one can sense a clear material and formal : :' development. ': ,: :, : His new album "floating layer cake" can be seen as a culmination : :' of his percussion practise, where this material has been put ': ,: into compositional form, and performed by an ensemble of :, : musicians. The result is a personal and remarkable sound world. : :' "floating layer cake" consists of two pieces. 'The Lost Ones' ': ,: is a collaboration between Zach, Canadian string quartet Quatuor :, : Bozzini, the poet and vocal performer Caroline Bergvall and : :' guitarist Kim Myhr. This ensemble started with Myhr's piece ': ,: "Pressing clouds, passing crowds", released on HUBRO in 2018, :, : and it was while working with this project that Zach realised : :' that the ensemble would be a good vehicle to expand his ': ,: composition 'The Lost Ones', which originally was written for :, : percussion and voice. Bergvall had been invited to write the : :' text and place the voice section, and her contribution to the ': ,: piece is brief, but devastatingly powerful, mirroring :, : beautifully the punctuations and the almost merciless stasis of : :' the instrumental parts. ': ,: :, : The second part of the album, "Let The Snare Speak", was : :' originally commisioned by Australian percussion ensemble Speak ': ,: Percussion, but it is on this record presented in a solo :, : version. The piece is for three snares with vibrating speakers : :' and pre-recorded electronics. Different sine tones are played ': ,: through the speakers, which generate a flurry of distortions and :, : harmonic filtering from the surface of the drum skin. : :' ': ,: floating layer cake is both a culmination of years of exploring :, : the possibilities of percussion instruments, at the same time it : :' is a leap into something new; taking his own personal material ': ,: into the world of ensemble composition, and expanding and :, : broadening both the scope and impact of his music. Discover this : :' remarkable gem of contemporary music, released on CD and DL ': ,: with a beautiful cover image by Norwegian video artist Kjell :, : Bj°rgeengen. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
