I AM K

The experiment is to orchestrate a common 'psybient' type sequenced synthesizer. It's practice for the pieces of music to be composed soon.

The orchestral arrangement is inspired from a movie I am sure but I cannot remember which one..... If anybody has an idea please comment

Only The Brave

Words of Wisdom - (Free Release on Bassic Records)

Fabrice David - Easy To Say [Theme]

This piece was composed from a series of emotions generated by a specific thought : Accepting that in some cases, out of love, you need to detach yourself from someone for their happiness. That is it what they need that matters and not what you want, even if that means that you have to remove yourself from the picture. A form of selflessness - Mushi No !

Fabrice David - Mushi No

The fastest way I thought I could express my appreciation for your support in helping keeping my Soundcloud active is by recording a fresh set. So here it is ! This set is pure tech - no progressive. Consisting of two parts split 30 mins each, the first part is centered around deep tech and the 2nd half more on big room tech tunes of 'techno comme on l'aime' for my mauritian friends. In my humble opinion this recorded set is a good one for your pre-parties or for your late afters. I am grateful for you all, and this one is for YOU ! Para Ti ! Happy New Year !

Para Ti [New Year Eve DJ set]

"Oceans are powerful and vastly unexplored, though far from insignificant"

Oceanic [EP] is influenced by the outdoor music scene in Australia, specifically the east coast. The place where oceans merge into the lush bushland and some life changing parties occur.

Duckee Hobo Tech (Ken Zo Remix) [Free On Bassic Records]

A recording of the set I played for my come back after 15 months.

Ken Zo @ 4Aces Techno Stage - LaFaya Event- Green Village

A recording of the set I played for DREAMERS by LaIsla to celebrate Music Day 2023. The set starts out with some 117bpm deep melodic tech & finishes around 123 bpm with melodic progressive tech. Focusing on the feel good factor, harmonies, melodies, rhythm & groove, I curated this playlist by exploring some music from South Africa, Israel & Europe amongst others, and including a few tracks from my all time favorite progressive & melodic producers. And finishing with a local touch by yours truly (playlist below).

I've always loved La Isla events. They always bring me joy, not only through the great musical experiences but also through the quality of conversations you can have with people. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to play a set for them.

Tracklist:
//Chronical Deep - Kumo [Stay True Sounds]
//Fka Mash - Lonely Jester [Atjazz Record Company]
//Chronical Deep - Make Up Your Mind [Stay True Sounds]

//Kasper Koman - The Observer [Lost Miracle]
//Kasper Koman - Fruit [Lost Miracle]

//I Promised Mom - My Sweet Stranger feat. ANGST vor GRETA (Adam Ten & Mita Gami Remix) [Ritual]a

Ken Zo - Born Janissary [Bowlba Records]

It was such a pleasure and honour to play right after Secret Cinema for this party. No better feeling that to play surrounded by your close friends and the devoted technophiles of the country. Big up to the organisers and local DJs who really took us all on a superb musical journey as well as HUGE thanks to Secret Cinema for an outstanding set.

This is the 1 st part of the DJ set I played for the party with one difference is that I added the opening track which somehow messed up when I started playing that night. the 2nd part was improvised as I had run out of tunes to play (no comments! :P) so most of the music was from M.E.Z.Z.L.E who was advising me on which tracks to play :)

Enjoy

His parents enrolled him for violin classes at the age of 7 at the Conservatoire de Musique Francois Mitterrand where he also learnt music theory in french. At the age of 13 he moved on to the Conservatoire de Musique Frederic Chopin where he was trained in piano and music theory in English,
