ZU3 CD

Mars Express

State are a Bristol based group of three multi-instrumentalists. Taking cues from influences as diverse as NIN, RATM, Senser, State effortlessly fuse searing guitar lines against electro-soaked vocals and drums. This new project seeks to challenge genres and provide the listener with experience that is both exciting and addictive.
State is the point on the map where soaring vocals, pounding drums and deep bass meet.

Review of Zoom Unit's last album, ZU, by Dom Gourlay of Under The Radar magazine:
 
"Perilously uncertain times call for purposely uncompromising sounds. So, it’s just as well that New Apostles' Andy Whitehurst and Andy Pidluznyj, the creative duo behind Zoom Unit, have exerted all their energies into crafting a soundtrack befitting of the times.

Clocking in at just under 50 minutes in total, ZU encompasses a range of human emotions. There’s an underlying message in every one of the nine pieces here and it’s not for the fainthearted. Whitehurst and Pidluznyj might just have stumbled across their finest collection of material to date."

All songs written, recorded and mixed at my home studio on Long Island. Some are part of a song cycle about a meteor full of eyes that crashes to earth. Not all though. 

If you dig them let me know!

I

I've had no formal training in music, sound engineering or anything, just time, patience and practice. I'd say I've written well over a thousand songs in my life. Most of them thrown away, but some make it here and other platforms.

My aim with music is to just write whatever i want to write. If that means experimenting with genres and not doing what's popular, then so be it. I know that this is technically a popularity contest, but whatever. If a handful of people like my tunes, then I'm pretty happy. I've never had any intent to make money from this endeavour - but hey if somehow, somewhere it happens... then I aint gonna say no.

My music charts my philosophical views, my perceptions on how other people see life, words and phrases I've heard while meditating and crazy stuff my brain tells me when my mental health is suffering. In some instances, I try to be relatable but I’d also be worried if you relate to my words.

I hope you enjoy my music - and if you do let me know via comment or message. I'm always up for a chat.

“The flow state is our most powerful weapon against the intense rationalization of our lives.” Denny Zeitlin. Denny Zeitlin is not my father. Also see Cecil Alexander.

According to the ChatBot, and who am I to argue, Dee Zee’s music style is a blend of classical and electronic elements, which creates a unique and original sound. He writes, plays, and records all the tracks himself, using various instruments and software. He is inspired by artists like Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Brian Eno.
Some of the features of his music style are:
•	He uses repetitive patterns and motifs, which create a hypnotic and rhythmic effect. He also experiments with different time signatures and polyrhythms, which add complexity and diversity to his music.
•	He incorporates ambient sounds and textures, which create a rich and atmospheric sound. He also uses effects and filters, such as reverb, delay, distortion, and glitch, which add depth and dimension to his music.
•	He explores different moods and emotions, which range from dark and mysterious to bright and cheerful. He also uses contrast and dynamics, which create tension and release in his music.
•	He combines acoustic and electronic sounds, which create a balance and harmony in his music. He plays various instruments, such as piano, guitar, violin, and drums, and also uses synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines.
Dee Zee’s music resonates with those who appreciate a fusion of classical sensibilities and electronic innovation. 

According to me I’m an independent musician, writing and recording instrumental electronic progressive rock on Roland synthesiser workstations, although the original ideas for tracks often come from iPad soft synths (I use the Animoog and Jordantron) or the piano [not the piano so much due to arthritis in both hands - at least the keyboard has lighter action].  

After playing piano from a very young age I played keyboards in the London pub rock group deEssen.  My original influences were probably Caravan, Camel, Ultravox, Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd and The Doors, with a sprinkling of Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP, PFM, Greenslade, Deep Purple, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis…  These days, when I’m not listening to you on SoundCloud I listen to Iamthemorning, The Resonance Association, Ozric Tentacles, Joe Satriani, IQ, Threshold, Steven Wilson, Lacuna Coil, Liquid Tension Experiment, The Flower Kings, Spock’s Beard, Led Bib, Thank You Scientist, Big Big Train, Eloy, Magenta, Wobbler, Frost*, Simon Phillips, Jean-Luc Ponty, Renaissance, Arena, Izz, Jupiter Fungus, The Tangent, Karfagen, Lunatic Soul, Hania Rani, Madis, Nik Bärtsch, Neil Cowley, The Messthetics, The Necks, Antoine Fafard …

Keep uploading great music and keep smiling!
