The discipline is called Avantgarde Jazz Pop.
The sound finds its origin in the questionably lifestyle of the millennium’s change and remains timeless: everything is always and ever available.
Weird musical clocks resound in front of an urban noise-scene.
Virtual natural runs give access to surreal worlds.
Spherical sounds wake naive yearnings for endless voids.
The songs make use of Arabian ghost stories, deal with the blue-whales’ coupling behaviour or describe in a serene-ironic manner the longed-for arrival of extraterrestrial life.
Sometimes the flashy, gaudy colours of a cheap comic strip, sometimes the somber visions of a black-and-white Metropolis that move before the listener’s eyes.
The film for this soundtrack has yet to be shot.
The band
Called to life in 1997, Zinctone is formed by four musicians out of Germany’s Rhine-Ruhr-Area:
Matthias Bonheger-Kadel (drums) and Malte von Ramin (bass, touch-guitar) form through machinelike, mathematical grooves the save basis for oblique-obstinate textures and surprise within delicate, atmospheric passages through austerity and subtle accompaniment.
The large stylistic bandwidth of Andreas Heuser (guitar) moves far beyond the several meanings of Jazz, Rock and World-music. If in the need of it, his instrument may also sound like a harp, a synthesizer or a drilling machine.
Strange electric string-sounds and distorted violin-riffs are Raimund Gitsels (violin, vocals) specialty, who also stamps the music with his melodic narrative voice.
