djummi.004: Zeus Scientist – Zeus LP

(deutsche Version)

Zeus Scientist - Zeus LP - Cover

Hello again,

more or less in time for our first anniversary we are back not just with another release. For djummi.004 we come up with a real sensation!

One year ago a graduate student from Princeton University, New Jersey (USA), who is busy with the history of sound research offered us a collection of songs which are ascribed to the phenomenon “Zeus Scientist”.

This name appeared for the first time after the Second World War. Scientists of the faculty of physics at Princeton University came across this extraordinary audio material and started a research group to figure out the phenomenon. Above all the question was: Who is responsible for it and what is the origin story? An authorship was indistinguishable, furthermore the sounds and arrangements contrasted sharply with the well known time of origin. Some of the songs date back to the late 19th century.

Despite intensive efforts of the Zeus Scientist Research Group, which was active under the direction of the renowned physicist Eric Rogers in the years from 1949 to 1971, the secrets of these recordings could be be lifted just fragmentarily. After the research group split in the early 70ies the finds were forgotton under a big layer of dust in the university’s audio archive, until the tapes, on which the material had been saved, were found by our favourer in the course of his studies last year incidentally.

Already all the unsolved circumstances make the songs a real speciality. But beyond that they can delight even musically. The in some cases 100 years old recordings are surprisingly timeless. Somehow they appear like a looming. You get the vague feeling of something familiar, but at the same time it is kept under a hazy shroud of mystery. And not least the abstract vocals underline this mystical feeling in each of the 12 songs.

We offered a foretaste of this music on our first release Djummix 1 last year. Now, we are very happy to present the whole Zeus LP and to share the secret with you. So, start your own research or just enjoy this special music.

Yours
djummi-records
