Pong
2010 release ** "The main instrument on this CD is the organ, which sounds in fast mechanical sequences a bit unusual for our ears and more typical for the Berlin school of electronic music. Simple compositional structure meets vivid expression, liturgical atmosphere and a sublime metaphysical line running through the whole concept of the project. Some parallels can be drawn with the CD of the Sphere Rex project, released in 2009 by the same community of labels. And it is no coincidence, as bot…

Approaches #1
“approaches #1” is a study based on electronically amplified objects. The first phase is the selection and microphoning of objects that are familiar in everyday life and in the context of music. The second phase is the alienation and merging. Live, the tracks run through effect pedals, creating a continuous drone. “approaches #1” is a shallow monster that is both demanding and highly immersive. - rsn

Surface
*50 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* "As the tracks are in connection with each other, please listen to the whole album, don't skip between tracks. I started recording "Surface" after finding an old picture of me.I had forgotten that particular period of my life. When I looked at that picture, time stopped, I was catapulted backwards in slow-motion flashback, as if I was lost between two parallel times.Then I tried to rebuild this specific moment with the tracks of this album. During the reco…

Purr
2006 release ** "All tracks on Purr have originally been composed for choreography. Laurent Perrier, the mastermind behind Zonk t, has reconstructed the tracks for his third release to make it a coherent album to listen to. And he definitely succeeded in that. The musical outbursts of the Frenchman are very minimalistic and could best be categorized as ambient. The fact that he uses only minimal sources and sounds for his creations doesn t mean that the tracks are boring, predictable or easy. O…

The Shame Of Being A Child
2005 release ** "Looking up Jesus of Nazareth's "The Shame of Being a Child", I found it oddly classified as grindcore. I suppose some of the music has a disposition in common with such freaked out 'cyber grind' bands as Agoraphobic Nosebleed, but here guitars (usually the focus of the genre) are completely absent, replaced with excess distortion on the monkey-simple drum programming and numerous forboding samples and electronic sounds which come at the listener in a rapid fire barrage, one af…
