about

Post Dance. What if you fell asleep at the club and went into a surreal dream?

The experimental dance album encourages the listener to step outside the box of predictable expectations born of categorizing tunes. Unbox each song separately and let your body respond. Unbox yourself.

Move it like you do.

Electronic music made with synth, acoustic instruments, found objects, and voice. Plays wildly with the concept of dance music, undermining conventions completely.

Ever wonder what electronic dance music would be like if all the rules were off the table, crumbled, and fallen to the floor? Swept up along with other genre crumbs, shaken and poured over your head while you found yourself turning into an upside down flower? Well, this is it.

Each song explores in its unique way, what computer music lies beyond requirements by clubs regarding limitations on rhythms, continuity between songs, focus on lower frequencies, etc. Besides the occasional penny whistle, slide whistle, harmonica, pungi, khaen, Greek shepherd's flute, silver flute, penny whistle, melodica, suling, parchment paper, foil, bottle opener, and voice, it's keyboard-based with a MIDI controller. It deconstructs dance and gets completely out of hand.

Depending on the song, it includes fusion elements, like with porch country, kosmische, noise metal, industrial, weird, eastern mirage, and reverence for the earthy divinity of slugs.

Avant-garde electronic lucid dreams of the Post-Dance floor.

Whimsical cheerful humor, heavy underneath, strangeness, industrial, with EDM tropes, accessible and danceable while also being innovative in a unique way that engages the mind in this concept album.

The album increasingly delves into stranger dreams that tear up, while tearing apart, the floor. You begin awake at the club for the first song before falling into the imaginative fugue. Some of the pieces rise toward consciousness, are straightforward and sincere, though most of them undercut themselves and explore the quirky irrational recesses of the dream sequence below the dance club.

Untertassen (live 2011)
by Zone Six
