THREAD CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED, SEE LAST POST FOR NEWS.

Zalhietzli is a solo project I had in mind for several years. Experiments in ambiant, noise, drone, industrial, no wave... I use effect pedals, loopers, drummachine and tape collages.

"Sainte Rita" is my first release, from september 2011. This should ring a bell for the fans of Swans, Tribes of Neurot, Sunn O))), Monno, Fuck Buttons, and the like.

A new release called "Two Songs, 2012" should be available in september 2012 on tape. Those two new tracks are drastically different from each other. "The Sickening Trophy" is an attempt at making a rock song without any rock instrument, and "Chemtrails Over Rainforest" is a semi-improvised jam of cold, blissful drone/ambient.

Those two releases are available through my BANDCAMP page for free streaming and download. The "Sainte Rita" tape is sold out, so for those interested I am making a CDr compilation of those two first Zalhietzli releases. This comp will serve as a promotional support, so it should be available at a small price, or come free with large orders made through my label Zugzwang Productions.

Hope you will enjoy !

The CDr comp is now available ! This compiles my first demo "Sainte Rita" released last year, and a two songs ep yet to be released on tape this fall.

I'm doing those with a "pay what you want option", so if you want one, please send enough to cover the shipping fees, plus a little extra if you feel like it.

Shipping fees : $3 Europe / $4 World.

The Chiral Tapes is a collection of 19 tapes, each recorded with a unique improvisation by Zalhietzli. No ulterior modification, everything is recorded live and straight into a Tascam deck. Each tape is handnumbered and wrapped in a different wallpaper pattern.

Pulsating drones and shrills, homemade percussions and amplified springs, layers of loops cascading into chaos, and everything in between.

chi·ral (krl)
"Of or relating to the structural characteristic of a molecule that makes it impossible to superimpose it on its mirror image."

Similar, mirrored from, yet different. All the improvisations has been made with the same setup and share similarities in sounds, yet they are all different and unique.

If you want one, pick a design you like or your lucky number and drop me a message. Each tape is 5€.

Availability : Everything except #7 and #17.
