7.10.12

VOD presents the first physical release of this 2011 recording by Zoviet France.

Instead he founded his own school of off-beat DIY-electronics, driven by irresistible curiosity and ingenuous enthusiasm for sound experimentation and process-oriented performance.His music is dense and full of polyrhythms and counter harmonies with singular control over layers of randomly pul…
