ZIA 1.5 (1992)

by Elaine Walker / ZIA

supported by

Paavo Bergmann This is just otherworldly good. I came across "Stick men" a couple years back when someone showed me that you could have meaningful music without the octave. I instantly fell in love with the piece, long before I learned it was Xenharmonic/microtonal, and so it got me into that whole thing, definitely broadening my horizon. Thank you for that, Elaine! Favorite track: Stick Men (Bohlen-Pierce Scale).

about

About:
ZIAv1.5 was first available on cassette in 1992 with a few songs. This version was called ZIAv1.0. When Elaine added more songs or re-mastered a song, ZIA would release a new version. ZIAv1.1 through 1.4 followed. People who had bought the cassette could simply return the cassette and a new upgrade would be sent for only the cost of shipping. This was designed to emulate software upgrades. The final upgrade was to a CD, offered at a discounted price. ZIA v1.5 is inspired by transhumanism, space exploration, and other futurist themes.

This is the sound that I hear in my head and search for.. I loved this whole album. Bright synthesizers, smooth synthesizers, chiptune synths, and Buddhist bells 🔔 Desert Island Rain started to feel like an old Jean Michel Jarre song at one point. I really can’t pick a favorite yet, there all so good! I look forward to listening to all the music Sevish creates. 100% recommended! Dionysus Virus
