ZEA / HARALD AUSTBO
Zea is a solo performance from Arnold de Boer (Amsterdam, NL) deploying guitar and sampler for an almighty bout of intense and high energy songs. Urgent lyrics over guitar, roughshod beats and grimy bass lines. Zea makes fat-free music with no words wasted; joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers. For more than fifteen years Zea has been playing all over the world.
Harald Austbø is a jazz cellist. He is active in the Amsterdam jazz & improv scene, plays in several bands, acts and composes for music theater productions. He improvises exuberantly and with humor. Every now and then you are put into rest by a lyrical stroking moment, but a little later it goes completely loose again rhythmically and otherwise.
Harald Austbø – voice, cello | ZEA – guitar, voice, electronics
