Hello.I am zorran.I live in Auckland, New Zealand. These are a bunch of songs i made a few years back now..and ive since joined 2 bands, and i now produce/engineer/mix bands full time. which is why i dont upload too many songs any more. my recent clips are merely tonal pursuits..but nothing ive spent time on like i used to.

i play in 2 bands, New Way Home. www.myspace.com/newwayhome . theyre an awesome band, and the nicest guys too. not to mention awesomely talented. and solstate (www.myspace.com/solstate)

check em out fwiw :)


thanks to everyone who downloads anything. its great, and i feel honoured to live in the age where we can convey our expressions to people a thousand miles away with the flick of a few buttons and about a minute with a good connection.
Why this name?
My mother read it in a newspaper.in a dream.i love my mom.
Do you play live?
Here n there in the past. Hopefully more often with New Way Home. opening for killswitch engage was awesome, and we will be opening for meshuggah in october 08!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
revolutionsed it. im sure metallica would kill for the internet when they were starting out.

that being said i did watch the metallica dvd and the only reason they did it was because their song that they didnt approve of leaving the studio, was being played on 30 radiostations a minute. i support them in this case. id prolly be pissed off if i had a great label deal and didnt want people to be listeing to something i didnt want them to yet.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
i used to think i would..but now i wouldnt.
Band History:
Music is my passion, my hobby, my spare time, my smoker buddy, my expressions,my aspirations, my dreams, what im gonna hopefully not regret giving up when im 60.

all i wish to achieve in my life is hopefully pass on the inspiration i recieve, to others. if i am fortunate enough to be able to hang up my boots and consider myself 'done' with writing music, hopefully im at least 65, then i will consider my time on this planet to be well spent.
Your influences?
Incubus, Silverchair, Mute Math, Steely Dan, RATM, Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Machine Head, Seal, Newayhome, DEP, Jeff Beck, Massive Attack, Bjork, ,DMB, Deftones, SYL, Lamb of God, Eight, Fear Factory, Glassjaw, Fredrik Thorendal,Sting, APC, Arch Enemy, Coldplay, Pantera, Mogwai, John Mayer, Keane, Brooke Fraser, Zero 7, Nitin Sawhney, Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, Year of the Rabbit, Ken Andrews, Filter, Radiohead, Sikth, Team Sleep, Mike Patton, SOAD...i could go on.

Musicians inspire me, seeing people truly convey their music as part of themselves. Seeing good live bands, and seeing some of my favourite bands live is a big inspiration and an influence as well.
Favorite spot?
Wendys or Burer Fuel, for making one of the best things i will remember Auckland for, the other being the awesome people i have met here.

i dont have a favourite city, coz i havent travelled much. maybe ill do that when im old. i really wanna check Amsterdam out though ;)
