• Z'EV & JULIEN OTTAVI - 'Crash & Cross' CD

A posthumous co-operative recording of the late pioneer of ritual and industrial music following altered states of consciousness. Thanks to the strong input of Julien Ottavi ("The Noiser"), these tracks have a notably harsher industrial noise sound than Z'EV's trademark rhythmajik work. First meeting in 2009, and following a tour in 2011, the duo sowed the seed of this record in 2014, when Z’EV came to live in Nantes and they spent time creating percussive music.

"We worked on some recordings, mixed live and studio sessions that had been put together over the year after 2015. We used both percussion recordings and live music that were sometimes processed and other times not. We spent a whole year recording bits and pieces that were assembled together during a few months. The idea was to create a release that will cross the different aspects of our collaboration, together, live, recorded, in the same place, sometimes in different places. The aspects of composition were really strong as we worked on each other's materials through exchanges about the way to mix it and arrangement of the multi-track recordings. Some parts of the live materials were recorded as stereo, and the most interesting parts were cut and assembled. Even today, it is difficult to say which one is live and which one is not. But does it really matter?" (Julien Ottavi).

Ltd x 200 copies in a 6-panel digipak with 8-page booklet.
