(Italy) E+S=B Decal (with David Lacey) €10 in, free CD-r to the first 100 ZOT!(ITA) “Music from nowhere to nothing” ZOT! was formed in 2005 by Luca Tanzini (theremin+video), Luca Cascino (drum) and Nicola Cascino (guitar) and Patrizia Musina (Saxophone) as an improvisational, experimental multi-media ensemble. The final outcome of early 20th Century thought was to make pure cinema as visual music and express oneself through a rhythm that stood for nothing but itself. Every performance must be different, surprise, chance and variety are far more importants. The project is based around improvisational use of mixed technologies (analogical – digital) that allow to realize and adapt the ideas of the first experimenters in a contemporary live-video-music performance. ZOT! creates a space where any sound, text, video or texture, are treated as a possible contribution to the ambient situation. The visual aspect will be, instead, created in real time, using ZOT! own original computer-software: RandomCinema, Musica a Colori.

They improvise around a krautrock sound. The stated intention at the beginning was to only play electronic instruments and no guitars. They also must always play masked. While a drum kit is allowed, they have managed to stick to their other principles. The line-up and what they generally play is Dave Carroll on drums, Anthony Carroll on keyboards, Fergus Cullen on effects and Adrienne Flynn on drum pad/effects. They started out mostly playing at Dublins Lazybird, but have been playing increasingly larger venues. Their highest profile and proudest show so far was as back up band to Damo Suzuki in Dublins Crawdaddy venue in March 2005. In Feb 2005 they released an album on Deserted Village. The same month their track 'Milkshake' was included on the Red Bridge compilation on Risc Records. UK magazine Fader singled out the track for high praise in their review.
