About Me

Zool.'s first album Vadem expands the musical universe that made his two previous ep's, zoolepone & zooleptwo, released on his own Hidden Pleasure Recordings, stand out from the electronica crowd. This album emphasizes the harmonic and organic melancholy that makes his work more human than most other computer-orientated artists. Most of the tracks are not merely based upon computer-generated sounds, but are made using a lot of real-world sounds as banjo, guitar, cello, piano and voice, sometimes digitally treated in a way beyond recognition. Vadem blends diverse influences, ranging from dub to idm, over postrock to ambient, resulting in a very personal style of his own. Zool. has released 2 cd-ep's: zoolepone (2004) and zooleptwo (2005), and one full album 'Vadem' (2006). Zool. is currently working on a new album to be released late 2007.
