about
ZEN ALBATROSS assembles colossal obelisks of sound using antiquated game consoles, tape loops and improvised electronics. The resulting rhythmic constructs form apocalyptic dance anthems which rise and disintegrate into a surreal stream of carefully-sustained drones and noise. Beginning in 2008 as a project to channel techno-political anxieties by pushing obsolete hardware to its maximum potential, ZEN ALBATROSS quickly became an active component of New York City’s thriving chip music scene. Performances include dozens of events in cities across North America, including two appearances at New York’s legendary chiptune epicenter, Blip Festival.
