Artist Profile
zezecozezeco is a two-members unit composed of Robin Aoki, core member of the post-rock band downy, well-known on the Japanese alternative rock scene for their hardcore sound using odd time signatures, and Manukan, a techno artist based in Okinawa who performed for major bands like ORANGE RANGE and RYUKYUDISKO. On an electro sound incorporating elements of noise and dub, their freaky composition intertwines delicate melodies and carefully constructed rhythms. With a minimal touch, their melancholic electronic world depicts a complex soundscape focused on the combination between play and programming. Their ability in creating organic sound textures using interesting electronic sounds and reverses transcends borders, as illustrated by the use of their music for the exhibition of sculptor and physicist Dutch artist Theo Jansen.
