A new EP for Thierry Zaboitzeff: Artefacts
With Artefacts, Thierry Zaboitzeff has created a haunting opus, whose compositions offer a sensitive and profound perspective on the world and the human condition. He explores relationships with others, with nature, and questions the great mysteries of existence.
In a poetic universe, dense and charged with emotion, the artist sculpts soundscapes of remarkable richness, both intentional, emotional, and technical. Bass, cello, keyboards, vocals, and studio textures intertwine with subtlety in a refined interplay of materials and resonances. Sound scratches, suspended choirs evoking A Drum, Drum, prepared piano, Moog-like keyboard phrasing, and strident Zoydyan accents dialogue from a distance, while percussion and breathless bass lines infuse an organic tension that is always vivid.
Assumed and perfectly mastered influences emerge, like an echo of Jon Hassell's atmospheric trumpet or Jan Garbarek's Nordic-tinged saxophones, as well as Krzysztof Penderecki and the rhythmicians of the early 20th century.

Artefacts invites the listener to contemplate a troubled horizon, altered by a few artifacts—contemporary mirages evoking both the fantasized vibrations of ancient cities and certain Native American mythological visions.
Between urban warmth and ancestral imagination, Thierry Zaboitzeff crafts an immersive world where we willingly allow ourselves to be absorbed, anxious and doubtful about the world to come. The tracks establish a constant dialogue between interior spaces and exterior realities.
The artist becomes a conduit between the visible and the invisible, between the beauty and absurdity of the contemporary world.
The multiple influences—rock, classical music, minimalism, and electronic music—are here Multiple influences—rock, classical music,
minimalism, and electronic music—are transcended, surpassed, and carried beyond conventional aesthetics.
Thierry Zaboitzeff's musical universe stands out as a style in its own right, free from any categorization.
His work is like a ritual dance: free, possessed, essential.
A project to be discovered without reservation, far beyond initiated circles, for all listeners in search of unique and profound sound experiences.
