ZAÄAR - Musique Cryptique (Live in Li​​​​​​​è​​​​​​​ge) (2024)

In the surrealist jungle of Brussels, saxophonist JJ Duerinckx embarked on a quest for truth within improvised music. Drawing upon primal instincts, multi-instrumentalist Guillaume CZLT joined him in navigating the waters of suburban mangroves to encounter the electronic multiverse maestro, Didié Nietzche. Thus, Neptunian Maximalism convened in an ethno-industrial liturgy, birthing a dual-headed pulsating entity. Drummer Sébastien Schmit and bassist HP Desrosiers converged as one, united by an innate primal essence. Separated into two bodies by a potent psych-free jazz ritual, they exultantly cried, “ZAAAÄÄÄAAAR!”, affirming their presence in the here and now. Thus, the quintet was born.
