https://soundcloud.com/zerocrossingpoint aka Victor Morello is a music producer, sound designer and synthesiser specialist from France.
Formerly active as Ivort in the psytrance scene, Zero Crossing Point is a project exploring more abstract forms of music.
Relying more on moods and timbres than percussive elements, his music draws from ambient, film scoring, musique concrete as well as blending heavier and darker styles of club music. 
His process is based on crafting a large amount of sounds using various techniques, effects and obscure software to grow his personal library. 
The material is then assembled to create detailed compositions that aim to evoke imaginary worlds and strong feelings to the listener.
Video games and immersion through virtual worlds, are another influence to his work. He also develops his own games in his spare time, inspired by the late 90s aesthetics and design paradigms.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
Entering OHM club in Berlin for the first time while Goth Trad was playing “The Bug - Poison Dart feat. Warrior Queen”. Entering the club felt exactly like the club scenes you would see in 90-00s action movies.

For the second show in October, Episode 3 of Skwirl’s Woodland Features is a throw back mixtape exactly 10 years old when a young Skwirl was whipped up in a wistful storm of autumnal reverie. Floating from a Todd Terje remix of Jose Gonzales along a path that includes Portishead, Badmarsh and Shri and Pat Metheny before resting upon John Martyn... the mix covers a vast scope equal parts colourful and subdued.

This mix is originally from 2007. Episode 5 was going to be a leftfield Chrimbo mix...but indeed in response to all of the endless cycles of holiday tunes that consume the collective airwaves that was dutifully and rightfully scrapped. Instead here's a selection on an emotional and introspective tip from a very different period in life that forgoes the holiday standards for something deep and vulnerable but equally as warm.
