Zymogen is once again behind the organization of NODE festival, which will be held in Modena from Thursday 4th till Saturday 6th of June.
During these three days there will be live-media performances and conferences with some of the most interesting artists within the international electronic music scene.
Fennesz, Lillevan, The Sight Below, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Giuseppe Ielasi, Nicola Ratti, Touane and The Pure are part of the line-up for this edition and we're particularly glad to be part of it.
If you're in Italy please don't miss it.

zym022/Nicola Ratti - ésope

24 Mar 2009

Nicola Ratti is one of Zymogen's favourite Italian composers.
After the acclaimed album From The Desert Came Saltwater, published on Anticipate in 2008, and the collaborative project Bellows with Giuseppe Ielasi, Nicola gives us a unique composition called ésope.
This work was originally done for the exhibition "ésope reste ici et se repose"#1, which took place in Montpellier between October 30th and December 13th 2008.
It's a single track based on processed field recordings taken in Montpellier between the 22nd and 25th April of the same year and was conceived of as the musical background for the exhibition.
Nicola Ratti's music is based on the search for a personal language that is capable of joining basic song structure, electro-acoustic experimentation and the use of sounds extracted from the environment in which we live. He does this with a sensibility that ranges from improvisation to the construction of sound via sheer artisanship.

2009, an update

18 Feb 2009

2009 will be a very important year for Zymogen. Following a short break in late 2008 / early 2009 the label will return, publishing works by Nicola Ratti, Alexandre Navarro and Oskar Hallbert.
In the next few days the shop section will close down and re-open later this spring with new goodies designed by Aurora Biancardi, as well as a new hardcopy release in the glasshouse series.
We have also joined the Facebook network by creating a group and an official page...feel free to join and support the project.

The recent hiatus is due to a number of things: namely, Zymogen label head, Filippo Aldovini, has established a monthly residence at Mattatoio club in Modena called Bricolages, featuring some of the most interesting brand new names in the experimental-electronic scene. Next gigs will be on March 6th with Greg Haines from Miasmah records, followed by our friend Marihiko Hara on April 3rd, who will be presenting his pop-oriented project Rimacona directly from Kyoto, Japan.

Filippo has also teamed up with Sven Swift from 12rec. creating a brand new label called Error Broadcast.
The new project aim is to research new expressions in the field of experimental hip hop and, even though it won't be connected with zymogen musically speaking, it will be moved by the same passion for innovative music.
Different sound, same attitude.
