Zen Paradox: Liquid Spheres EP cat# HRoom014
In case you're not aware of Steve's work, Zen Paradox was established in 1991 by Steve Law as a solo outlet for his more techno-oriented electronic music work. Steve had previously been a member of the groups Foil and Guild of Fire, and is a current member of Black Cab and High Pass Filter. His other solo projects include Mutagenic Mind, Mr. Suspicious and Solitary Soul.
He's been producing avant garde and electro-acoustic music since 1984, and in 1996 was awarded the ABC Classic FM Computer Music Award. He's also collaborated with many other artists, including recorded works as Starseed Transmission (with Andrew Park), The Sonic Voyagers (with Voiteck), Retreat Syndrome (with Andrew Belcher), The Mutagen Server (with Ollie Olsen), Son of Science (with Andrew Garton) and Memory Geist (with Bakis Sirros).
His live collaborators include Monolake, Andy Vaz, Atom Heart, Tetsu Inoue, Riou Tomita, Alistair Riddell, Ash Wednesday, Stephen Richards, Sean Baxter, Tom Fryer, Rod Cooper, Ai Yamamoto, James Wilkinson, Dale Nason and The Terminal Quartet.
The new EP is brilliant. 'Retina Glimmer' starts off deceptively chilled and floral in sentiment; but 'Hypochondriac Wasp' introduces and organic, liquid-electro take on minimal Detroit, and 'Shon Spagnolia' would be at home on any quality Basic Channel release.
