Another Zru Vogue opus, a full-length album exploring themes of spirituality & nocturnal deliverance. ‘Before The Moon Disappears’ introduces more recent productions from the duo actually composed of Andrew L. Jackson & Rick Cuevas, followed by Patrick Coyne (long time Zru partner) at drums on some of the tracks. The sound is more ethereal, crossing up their funky groove with supernatural effects: smooth electronic arrangements meeting up the tribalistic mood of a desertic ground, drawning a place for Andy's voice... The guitars are delayed, treated with effects and thus brings a 'lounge' approach to the sound. All that gives the impression to face a dandy, speaking out 'cristal-clear' to your mind and only to your mind. This style reminds how chic and ellaborated Zru is! It results in a very immersive tale, calling the inside wish to move up and swim in an intriguing poetry that evokes surrealist experiments. This is how Zru Vogue stimulates your own-self. “You know how sometimes you try to fit in, but you stand out like a man in a rabbit costume on fire?” lf you're thinking to existentialism, Zru has the answer, that’s where their fictional hero comes up to the story: “Zero, a nothing guy living an ordinary life until he finds himself in an alternate, surreal dimension of reality where he starts to question fundamental notions of his own existence.”

Pieter Kock - Facial Recognition (RIO08)

R.I.O. welcomes Pieter Kock aka DJ Peacock, one of the guiding souls behind the Berlin based bar/micro club O Tannenbaum. Musically active since 1986 as singer, guitarist, drummer and noisemaker, Peter already released a string of albums under different aliases like Billie and Ballie, The Hitmachine and Taladu.  Since the early 1990s he narrates haunting sonic stories as a DJ, playing a vast palette of styles - from cosmic and leftfield techno to tape experiments, sound-art, wave, world, jazz, punk, industrial, and all that weird pop music. Last year saw him liberating his first solo recordings under his civil name as a cassette tape named “Flocks & Murders of Entitled Spirits”, dropped by the Berlin/Vilnius based label Musikii. It unreels twelve sensitive tunes, made with the help of online synths and drum computers, Youtube travel- and talk show-videos or samples from Youtube synths- and rhythm box-demonstration videos. Now he refined his idiosyncratic style of music crafting a bit deeper and shares “Facial Recognition” – a gently twisted album that unites hypnagogic pop, library dances, cosmic funk, leftfield grooves and experimental sonic zones under one roof. His seven found sound tunes are layering a rhizomatic veil of unidentifiable web sounds, all transmuted into hazy looped ambiances, that trigger unconscious brain activities with future samples from the past, woven rhythm structures and a simultaneity of moments, derived from myriad world wide web informations. When it’s true, that nothing can have value without being an object of utility, then Pieter Kock managed to give the internet a new rate while using its manyfold informations as a tool to create art. Art, whose originality isn’t defined by the creator’s playful virtuosity. Instead, his sensibility of deciphering unheard rhythms, harmonies, and melodies in an avalanche of prefabricated ideas is his mastery. Pieter Kock transformed them into unfamiliar compositions with a familiar touch, that can evoke the feeling of being synchronous in a world of the many. A data rain without drops, a stream of consciousness without cognizance. Come in, drop out.

Michele Di Leonardo  is a composer of ambient and electronic music. With the help of analog and digital instruments he combines classic atmospheres with refined sounds, recreating changing "soundscapes".
He began to approach the world of music at a very young age by starting classical music studies and playing the transverse flute. Later he adds classical guitar and electric bass.
The arrival to electronic-ambient-experimental music was born in recent years.
The "SoundTrack - Residencies" project, an artistic residence organized by the Zō Cultural Association of Catania with the support of MiBAC and SIAE, contributed to its training. Michele Di Leonardo is in fact selected from several Sicilian composers. The project involves the creation of an unpublished musical work that explores the relationship between electronic music and its possible applications in performative events or audiovisual products.
Three tutors support the project: Teho Teardo, Murcof (Fernando Corona), Andrea Belfi.
Starting from 2017 Michele Di Leonardo will stage the performance "QBO Project" in collaboration with the video collective "Pixel Shapes". The installation was presented in art galleries, cultural events and in festivals such as the "Mish Mash Festival 2018" at the Castle of Milazzo (ME) and at the "Sequenze Fest 2018" at the Real Teatro di Santa Cecilia in Palermo.
Michele Di Leonardo is also part of the duo "MiDiLe & Moonyang" who tries to combine minimal electronics with classical music and, together with "Pixel Shapes", have created an audio-video performance that leads the viewer into an unprecedented perception of space and time.
