Ze in the Clouds: "Magical"
Ze in the Clouds is a cutting edge multi-instrumentalist and producer. He created his own compositional style as the result of his jazz origins and his continuous studying and evolution. He shares his thousand faces without any stylistic boundaries with people and musicians who have the same vision.
Born in the Po Valley of Northern-Italy at the end of the last millennium, from a very young age Ze attracted the attention of promoters and artistic directors of the new avant-garde scene linked to jazz and electronic music. JazzMi and Jazz:Re:Found, the two most influential Italian festivals to focus on this kind of artistic proposal, immediately understood the potential of his amazing talent, showcasing him in their lineup. Jazz:Re:Found, captivated by his unique and inimitable style, decided also to reward his genius by inaugurating the catalog of the new record label project "Time is The Enemy" with his debut album.
“Magical” is the debut album by “Ze in the Cloud” and the first release of the newly born Italian label Time Is the Enemy. The eight tracks on the album represent the musical universe of the artist, ranging from jazz to electronic music.The vast range of musical inspirations that lie behind this work create an atmosphere of uncertainty, in which neither rhythms nor melodies are linear, there is always a surprise for the listener. The album was completely composed and arranged by Ze himself, who wrote the lyrics and is the lead voice throughout the album. In the final production steps he was assisted by LNDFK and Daryo Bass, two other prominent artists on the Italian music scene and long-time friends of Ze.
Ze explains “Magical is a fusion of a dozen genres, where every song opens up like a russian doll, splitting into real songs within the track. Hundreds of details are part of the different auditory worlds in which each song progresses. Magical is no doubt hard to decipher but it’s easy to dance. Since the orchestral introduction of the first song your senses will be automatically taken into a journey between irony and sadness, emotional intensity and vibing, extreme nerding and introspection. Magical is a dream that, through sound illusion, makes you meditate on the sense of life, death and love, three fundamental topics in the album lyrics. The album is a leap into a future where no tradition is missing.”
