ZAÄAR, the multi-headed tribal spiritual free jazz collective, is always in action. The essence of the project is improvised music - creation in the moment, and they never stop evolving. This album captures their transcendental catharsis from a live performance in 2022 at KulturA, Liège. I had the chance to be there. The set was so intense, but also allowed you to mediate in the cosmic chaos. HP Desrosiers took the amplified santur instead of the bass this time and Guillaume Cazalet offered his alchemy with zurna, zither, and other wind instruments. You breathe and suffocate in the ashes of their rhythm. The grotto becomes the sky and darkness gives birth to light.

Now the embryo speaks: Musique Cryptique.

The CD comes in a 6-panel folded cover in 7" format, with obi strip.

Brussels, surrealist jungle. Saxophonist JJ Duerinckx was seeking the truth in improvised music. Using survival skills from his lizard brain, multi-instrumentist Guillaume CZLT went down with him in the waters of the suburb mangroves to meet electronic multiverse moebius Didié Nietzche. Neptunian Maximalism was gathered in an ethno-industrial liturgy, then appeared a double-headed pulse entity. Drummer Sébastien Schmit and bassist HP Desrosiers arrived as one, connected by an inner primitive self. “ZAAAÄÄÄAAAR!”, did they shout when separated into two bodies by a powerful psych-free jazz ritual. “Here and now!” JJ said, and the quintet was made.
