About Me

ZIA is an exclusively electronic band who began performing on the East Coast in 1992. Founded by Elaine Walker, ZIA bangs out pro-space and sci-fi music on futuristic instruments. All of the synths are triggered ALL LIVE with drum sticks! Microtonal musical scales run rampant throughout the ZIA repertoire. In the pop genre this is a monumental task which adds an eerie, futuristic edge to the songs. ZIA was together for 13 years in Boston and NYC, and has recently relocated to Arizona. ZIA currently has 3 full length albums and two EPs. The newest release, Martians, was officially released at the first XPrize Cup ! The video for the title track was filmed on Devon Island in the Canadian High Arctic (75°North), commissioned by the NASA Haughton-Mars Project . NEWS & INTERVIEWS |PHOTOS 1992-2007
