about

Zenso's music is characterized by its fusion of electronic, ambient, and experimental elements. It often features intricate rhythms, ethereal melodies, and layers of atmospheric soundscapes. The compositions create a meditative and introspective experience, blending elements of nature and technology to evoke a sense of serenity and contemplation. The music invites listeners on a journey of self-reflection and exploration, with each track offering a unique sonic landscape in which to immerse oneself.

On Dream of the Butterfly, the melodic and rhythmic improvisations were performed in real-time using an Ableton Push and a Zendrum. The ambient soundscapes were crafted using field recordings and various generative music techniques. The drum arrangements employ odd time signatures and anti-metric methods, resulting in challenging and unconventional rhythmic patterns. The overall result is a unique listening experience that inhabits the space between the jazz, ambient, and experimental genres.

All tracks were composed, performed, mixed, and mastered by Alan Barnard

For Michael.

about

Zensō California

In Zen, ensō (円相) is a circle that is hand-drawn in one uninhibited brushstroke to illustrate the moment when the mind sets the body free to create.
