OUTWAARD

"Beginning with the 2007 release 'Forwaard', rhythmajikal percussionist Z'EV continues his collaborations with Frans De Waard in the form of the latest installment, 'Outwaard'. Whereas the sound sources used on 'Forwaard' where of a varying nature, on 'Outwaard' they were all made at a petting zoo in Kleve, Germany. These recordings which are 'recoded' by Z'EV into a 40-minute, densely layered pattern of musique concrete. Many of the animal call like sounds disappear in the 'recoded' version and makes a particular strong work, but occasionally one returns and leaves a no less than haunting listening experience." www.coldspring.co.uk
