Zanshin - The Humdrum Conundrum EP
aff 007, Release Date: 01/06/2011 , Format: 12" (EP)
On his debut "The Humdrum Conundrum EP" Zanshin operates like a painter in a white room, extending his arms to the fullest to paint what's left in a musical landscape of his own, using all available colours and brushes, leaving the listener with a fully grown universe of experience.
The opening track "Syzygy In Canis Major" delivers a first profound imprint – free floating vocals associated to the cutting edge of contemporary electronics. "You I I You" features a full load of edgy instrumentation, deeply transplanted synths and is smartly moving up and down the emotion-index. Concise but monumental – "Solrenichi" closes Chapter One..
The flipside continues with "Jinxed Sphinx" and shows Zanshin flirting with abstract jazz ingredients on a shifted rollercoaster ride. Pure beauty and the accurate soundtrack for lonely excursions on the night train are brought on "A Flock Of Locks" – a new era of passionate digital soul. "Lunathotsuki" leaves you with the delicate touch of a chime before moonrise. Listen carefully.
