Reviews & Discussion:

Migso Apr 18, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Experimentalist Migso encompasses a narrative journey layered with celestial melodies and sensuous synth lines that fall into deep hypnotic patterns. Like in most Portuguese art there's a poetic aura around his digital compositions and conceptual projects. With a bleep and beep here and a crackle there you will always find Migso's work moving in capricious ways, as it catches you by surprise again and again.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzp! Mar 02, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
What zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzp! are not. Derivative. Manufacturers of digital and deformed sonorous pastes. Operators of codified mathematical formulas translated into spineless sounds. Ambiental music in the good and the bad sense of it. A useless avant-garde monolith.
On the contrary. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzp! are architects of infinitely simple sounds. As simple as in a laboratory. (...) The sound of Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzp! is mainly constructed around rhythmic patterns with a life of their own, precise in tempo but unpredictable in contents, being each beat a living entity and not exactly reproduced in the same shape. (...) The rulers and compasses of this group with unpronounceable name are out of order. Good!
