01 Pagan Dances 14:47
02 The legend of NayMa 04:50

EP produced between May and August 2021
@ ZabLab

A long 20-minutes breath somewhere between techno-rock, contemporary music, electro-acoustic and ambient: rhythmic figures that gradually go crazy, then a calm leaning back into imaginary legends. This new EP by Thierry Zaboitzeff, who left Art Zoyd , of which he was a co-founder, at the end of the 90s, proposes a post-dystopian universe, free and open.

Thierry Zaboitzeff: Composition - interpretation - recording - mixing - bass guitar - electric cello - keyboards - samplers - vocals - programming of percussions and other virtual acoustic instruments.

Ode à la Paix

réminiscences. Sometimes, it is essential to stop the mad rush of the world for a while. Sitting on the bank of a river, contemplating the show of nature in the dying day. Then summon one's memories, allowing the emergence of past emotions in order to travel into the uncertainties of the present times. And finally let an inner song be born, the song of life, adorned with timeless melodies that one would like to be eternal.
Denis Desassis, January 2023.
released February 1, 2023 
réminiscences. For prepared piano, electric guitar, twelve-string acoustic guitar, trumpet, alto saxophone, alto violin, cello and small string ensemble.

Liner notes

Our world is in the midst of turmoil. Human madness forces Earth to defend itself with violent aftershocks, like so many distress signals. Will wisdom finally become the watchword of the times to come, clearing the path to a possible future? This is the undoubtful aim of a masterful, concise record, stretching a mysterious thread between a worried past, here recalled by Jean-Pierre Soarez's trumpet and its 'Zoydian' echoes, a destructive present where forests become deserts, and an uncertain future that we urgently need to be shaped. As an architect of a unique landscape of light and shadow – here is a cosmogony haunted by a underlying beat and unknown chants – where shouts and murmurs merge, melting into the heart of melodies as ancient as they are contemporary, Thierry Zaboitzeff comes to us as a human being aware of the challenges ahead. His radical, fiercely beautiful visions are ours.
(Denis Desassis)

HEAT - Thierry Zaboitzeff
CD ALBUM AVAILABLE FROM JANUARY 10, 2025

Composed, performed and recorded by Thierry Zaboitzeff between April and September 2024 in Salzburg (A).
Thierry Zaboitzeff: bass guitar, electric cello, vocals, keyboards, samplers, soundscapes and programming.

Cold Song by Henry Purcell (track 4) is adapted by Thierry Zaboitzeff and sung in his own emotional language based on timbres and articulations deeply linked to these rubbed, percussive, mysterious sounds like a forgotten language.

Liner notes : Denis Desassis
Visuals : Thierry Moreau

Being a visionary musician, Thierry Zaboitzeff is first and foremost a human being in touch with the realities of the world. He has long demonstrated the acuity of a perception that is both luminous and dark, serving the multiple types of music he inhabits. Let’s remember the dazzling panorama of his ‘50 ans de musique(s)’. At the controls of his electro-acoustic instrumentarium, writing the natural sequel to the deforestation alert that was ‘Le passage’, the composer once again mobilises his polyphony in chiaroscuro. As a breathtaking scenario of our humanity facing global warming, ‘Heat’ begins with an alarmist weather report sounding the death knell for a race against time. Thierry Zaboitzeff then unfurls the full range of possibilities, subjecting them to constant tension, arranging the relentless and mysterious scenario of a heatwave with no return. Deep beats, celestial colours, haunting voices from a nocturnal otherworld, sounds and colours of fire, consoling songs and dances... not forgetting the music of Henry Purcell's ‘Cold Song’ as a potential remedy! The effect of this empathetic epic on our hearts and souls is immediate and vital. It's the only kind of warming we'll be hoping and praying for.
