Is Noise the New Pop?

WINNIPEG, MB, November 15, 2013 /

24-7PressRelease/ -- Winnipeg Avant-garde Guitarist Pim Zond announced today he will be releasing his newest music single track on iTunes and elsewhere online on November 11, 2013.

His newest single, an electronic film soundtrack influenced song entitled "Clockwork Is Sad", is the newest song to come from electronic guitarist Pim Zond. Following in the heels of his avant-metal track "Dirty Cell Slaves", Clockwork Is Sad is a calmer, some say incredible calming music release, but no less unique. A contrast in styles Zond says, he freely explores every music genre and breaks all their rules, or at least bends them a little. Both singles are too appear on his next album "Ethical Treatment of Machines" due for release near the end of the year. Other albums available are: "23 Years of Fear", "Distant Relations", and "Monodon Monoceros (Narwhal)".

More About Pim Zond


Pim Zond is a Canadian experimental / avant-garde guitarist and recording artist active in free-improvisation, noise, avant-metal, and free-jazz genres.

With his fascination with film soundtracks, Anton Webern, Frank Zappa, Reeves Gabrels, Adrian Belew and Derek Bailey, Zond strives to obtain as wide an array of sounds than those typically heard at that particular moment in time, under the conditions with the chosen devices or instruments.

He uses light-fingered tones and harmonics, psycho-billy fragments, only to become dominated by fierce but brief Marc inspired noise riff attacks. This builds to a high point until unusual handmade string instruments can be deployed to explore low-tension tunings, and discordant harmonic conceptualizations feeding back with computerized a-rhythmic accompaniments.

His current guitars are a customized Metropolis electronic guitar with joystick control, a 9 string semi-acoustic travel guitar, a 1960's Saturn 5 acoustic, and a 1960's Audition electric guitar which he got at 10 years of age, and a wide array of new and vintage effects pedals.

Added to the mix is a Chinese Moon guitar of his own design created from found objects called the "Dead Ring". This 5 string semi-acoustic guitar is featured as the world's largest Mandolin Guitar (22") in a world record at recordsetter.com, along with his playing of the the world's Smallest Mandolin (2"), also a world record. And now in completion a double neck plastic aluminum outsider art instrument called "reDDneXX". He counts among his varied social media followers; Eminem, Five Finger Death Punch, Boris, Jack White and John McLaughlin.

Pim Zond's current album "Monodon Monoceros" is available on iTunes, Amazon.com, and elsewhere, including physical CD via CD BABY and in-store via Alliance entertainment.

Joseph Patrick Moore Submerges Into the World of Electro-jazz

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 13, 2011

Blue Canoe Records have released "XYZ Factor" from bassman, Joseph Patrick Moore. This bold, uber-current effort fuses elements of contemporary jazz, for which Mr. Moore is famous, with electronica and the delivery is a fresh and relevant EP that will appeal to his current fans and fans of electronica alike.

In the same vein as artists BT , Owl City and Moby, Mr. Moore hits the listener with a smooth, irrepressible experience that encourages listeners to use the repeat function.

Joseph Patrick Moore is a prolific jazz, pop and rock musician as well as producer, session musician, film composer and author. He has worked with artists such as Stewart Copeland (The Police), Earl Klugh, Chris Duarte and Bob James to name a few. "XYZ Factor" is fresh on the release of "To Africa With Love" where Mr. Moore coupled its release with a mission trip to Africa where he got involved on the front line of support for The Kingdom of Swaziland.
The three song EP "XYZ Factor" starts with "Yield", an ambient electronic beat backed by Mr. Moore's signature bass tone.

The haunting melody sticks with the listener long after the song resolves and is supported by a bubbling beat that forces feet to move.

"Xanadu", the second track, begins with a mysterious, synthesized mood that moves from left to right. The beat gently settles in and the echo of a dreamy voice calls from above. By the time the melody falls in, the addictive beat is ingratiated into your subconscious. From classical strings to ambient keys to contemporary jazz melody, this electronic hallucination is not to be missed.

"XYZ Factor" rounds off with the full-tilt "Zig Zag Zoom". Mr. Moore infuses pop melody lines over the Owl City like beat to create a dance party right from "Play".
"XYZ Factor" is co-produced by Buzz Amato (Curtis Mayfield, Ben E. King) as player, producer, composer and arranger coupled with Mr. Moore's bass stylings and production.

 This EP is a cerebral experience that punches to the core of today's electronic scene. Joseph Patrick Moore manages to stay ahead of trends in his pursuit of bringing worlds together through music. "XYZ Factor" is a must-listen for fans that love jazz, electronica and all points in between.

Music History - Industrial Rock - Origins, Influential Bands and Equipment

Industrial rock arose at end of the 1970s as a number of rock and post-punk bands started to use synthesizers to add an industrial feel to their guitar-based music. The genre draws influences from a number of sources, including noise music and electro-industrial as well as post-punk and traditional rock music

It is often mistaken for industrial metal, which is a separate industrial genre that did not develop until nearly a decade later. Early industrial rock was made by a number of bands, including groups such as Killing Joke, SPK, Einsterzende Neubauten, Die Krupps and Test Dept

The work of these bands would later have an impact on the development of the genre and industrial music as a whole. Certain releases by influential industrial metal bands like as Nine Inch Nails can also be taken as examples of industrial rock. Other popular bands that have contributed to the genre in one way or another include Gary Numan, KMFDM, Celldweller and Gravity Kills. The American band Filter has also had considerable commercial success.

Since the genre draws heavily on influences from rock and post-punk as well as the world of electronic music, industrial rock bands often use a mixture of both acoustic and electronic music gear. Some of the most widely-used pieces of music equipment used in the genre are Digidesign Pro Tools, Apple Logic, the Sherman Filterbank, the Kurzweil K2000 and Clavia Nord Lead

The genre features frequent use of effects processors and industrial production techniques to distort recorded guitar riffs and acoustic drums in ways not usually found in other rock music genres.Similar to industrial metal, industrial rock experienced its peak of commercial success in the 1990s, especially in North America. Since then, popular interest in the genre has faded considerably.
