Zygote
Stephen Ruiz (aka Zygote) uses the mechanized process of electronic music production to express complex human emotion. The tools of his output are computers, tape recorders, wires and other conduits of noise. His sound transcends the inhuman element of "technologically enhanced" production methods so vital in the world of electronic music producers, and in it's place submits raw and unfiltered emotion. He explores the human idea of personal expression through the concept of compositional indetereminancy, generative music and evolving cellular automata. The end result is populist music that illicits emotional response via technology. Having trained in percussion and guitar, his compositional methods are rooted in structured narrative that are constantly being mutated under the pressure of new forms of expression.
Stephen has releases on Under the Radar Records and Alectric Records (Canada) and is the founding organizer of The "Under the Radar" experimental music and video events in San Francisco. He now resides in Oklahoma City.Admin
