First rate playing...all around. The drummer is really bringing it too!

Sessions for "The MZTRIO First Takes" EP brought Marcel Ziul to the studio as a guitar player, singer and producer at the service of his own music, and free from any outside pressures, (labels and managers), for the first time. 

Playing alongside friends he'd met throughout his career as a session musician, the recording provided the opportunity for his current band members to be selected, as Ziul played songs ranging from the rock/soul ballad "Ain't the Same" to his own blues material heard on "Gimme a Break". 

The music ranges from deeply introspective songs that deal with loss and learning to cope with change, such as the emotional "In Your Hands", to anger-filled odes to frustrating romantic experiences as in "Confined".

Ain't the Same

Natural born musician and talented songwriter Marcel Ziul has dedicated the last ten years to live performances and recording his music in an effort to share his life experience of having grown up in constantly changing surroundings. A fluent speaker of three languages, Ziul writes English lyrics and accompanies himself on guitar.

Heavily influenced by the blues, soul and classic rock, Ziul's music ranges from funky, guitar-driven pieces to acoustic ballads as well as heavier songs with a retro vibe.

The musician has made two releases through independent US Label Magnatune: "The MZTRIO Live Studio Sessions" in 2010, and "The MZTRIO: First Takes" in 2011. The former is the audio to a DVD of the same name recorded live at COMEP studios in São Paulo, Brazil in 2009, while the latter is an EP of songs also found in his DVD originally intended to be released as a full album and recorded at ALV Studios in Campinas, Brazil in 2008.

According to the official website of the artist and the local press, (source:http://www.rac.com.br/entretenimento/variedades/122533/2012/03/27/marcel-ziul-lanca-seu-terceiro-disco-iin-a-minutei.html), the artist will have released his third album, "In a Minute" by June, 2012.
