Two grown men that should know better.
It all just started as a jam, no master plan for global fame and fortune (there still isn't), I think we were both taken aback by what we produced. We find it so difficult to put our music in any particular genre, intrumental with vocals, ambient with loud bits, dance but not disco, rock but not too many loud guitars ... you tell us...
Check out www.myspace.com/zallanayver and all of the other independant music sites, if we arn't on there yet it won't be long.
The debut CD 'Searching For Random' is now on sale at www.imusicstage.com or CD BabyBand/artist history
Andrew Biscoe and James Boyle first met in 1991 when they worked together in the arts sharing a passion for listening and writing music. Andrew had a particular flare for writing ambient style rock, James brought a groove from the hip hop genre and they met somewhere in the middle. In 2001 having produced some pieces together for a contemporary dance company and a short film they decided to create an album blending their two styles. The result was ZallaNayvers - Searching for Random, a journey into the murky world of feelings. Reviews of the album suggest an absorbing mix of electronica and rock (wires and wood) in a down tempo style with soulful vocals adding to the rich tapestry of their sound. Having built up a strong following on myspace they decided to release their album in the Summer of 2006.Have you performed in front of an audience?No plans for live work, who would want to watch us??

ORANGE MOUNTAINS
oooo i love the Upright bass here, freakin nice. Is it an upright layered with synth bass?
All the tracks are nice mellow flowing cuts!
Once again nice seductive vox here!
Nice ring modulation on the filter sweep at 6:00. Is that a Jupiter 6 or 8, i ask because i use a JP6! ;-)
The track certainly goes through several movements and was a long listen but kept my interest all the way.
Nice Stuff people!!
Please check out my page - the material on my project is not electronica, (however i've done my share, back in the Depeche Mode days), but the entire project is done on Yamaha S-30 and SY 85 with a little Jupiter 6 in places and a few samples on "Sacrificial Chair"
Thanks in Advance
Mark HolleyListening to "Time For"
I can tell you guys have a Jazz background or influence which is cool.
The guitar that comes in at 1:50 is nice, seemed like it could have been up in the mix a bit but had nice tone. I swear i hear a moody sax wanting to cry here too - is that against electronica rules :-)
Haunting Piano in both the intro and outo
Nice Job
MarkOK, listening to "John Doe"
First off - I like the offbeat drum to bass relationship alot. Samples are tasty. Out of curiosity, what soft synths are you using? Or are the actuall synths - real nice textures!!
I like the section around 3:50 nice sequence texture, was that a random pattern or written - just curious?
Cool groove, moves along just like it outta!
well done,
MarkI'm listening to yor stff now starting with "Pamper Me"
I like this... real mellow, yet still driving. The middle part starting at 3:30 till 4:30 seemed a bit long but didn't really bother me.
The vocals Holly are killer, real sedctive.
Nice mix all the way arond too.
Is that an Oberheim in the backgrond?
It almost fits a jazz genre, i wold love to wail a sax line in that ;-)
By the way the song fades at 6:30 but has dead air till 6:53, I'm sure you'll trim that when you master.
Good song really shilled me ot listened to it twice actually.
