I'm happy to share with you the Zhorhann first single recorded a few months ago in a cave in Toulouse, it's a cover of "La chambre jaune" of M'Z

Now it's available as a single and for listening on all platforms here:  https://album.link/frm2bcqqpcjz7" rel="nofollow - https://album.link/frm2bcqqpcjz7
Thank you Luminol Records for distribution and trust
Thank you Hugo Lemercier for the mix

For context:
It's a cover taken from M'Z's prism album, which focuses on concepts, and uses constraint to tell its stories.
The reflection is centered around the notion of Prism.
The goal is to create parallels between colors and musical modes (musical colors), but it is also a pretext to tell a more personal story in parallel.
Another of the driving ideas of this project is that everything is inevitably interpreted, no matter how hard we try to approach a totally objective truth, it will never really be the case.
This project tries to break down every particle, to analyze every atom, but each time it tries to transcribe a message, it will be biased by the translation that its own prisms and analysis filters produce.
Despite his efforts to find an objective point of view, he can only admit that his feelings will systematically influence his decisions and thoughts.
It will be the same for the style, while trying not to approach only one aesthetic and mixing all its influences, he will quickly realize that fusion even with an open mind remains a kind of musical label.
M being the guitar Z the machine, the idea is also to create a bridge between organic and electric/electronic music, a bridge between the code and its acceptance as the need to get out of the code. Released on December 27, 2017 in self production.

This song, specifically, is about the color yellow. It is the reaction of our emotions when we try to deny them and try to bury them very deeply, then they will feel rejected and try again, to capture our attention. So well buried they will manage to communicate with our subconscious that reigns in these places, together with this strange friend, they will then be able to play with our state of consciousness and we will be forced to adopt behaviors that will bring us closer to madness, until until we can finally find a way to better deal with these emotions, hitherto misunderstood, unheard and rejected.

While waiting for the album that we are currently finishing mixing, here is something to listen to...
Can't wait to hear your feedback

Hello,

I have the pleasure of sharing with you Zhorhann's concert at L'Archipel Tournefeuille : 


Zhorhann is currently defending his first album "Ainsi parlait Hominina" released on September 15, 2023 with the Italian progressive music label Luminol records, through a series of concerts and an almost permanent tour which was released on November 23 by Tournefeuille while he spent time behind "L'Archipel" cameras, a very high-quality educational third place which offers prospects for young people from the city and surrounding areas to work on sound and image, in real conditions by filming, editing, producing and recording live performances of groups that pass through there !!

As for the musical style, Zhorhann oscillates between rock in opposition, math rock, jazz rock, metal, progressive rock, a little punk, a little cartoon...

You can listen to our album on the Matziz Records Bandcamp page
https://matzizrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ainsi-parlait-hominina" rel="nofollow - https://matzizrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ainsi-parlait-hominina

Following on from "La Théorie des cordes", a first matrix musical project, Zhorhann is also a musical storyteller, seeking meaning in the note, he motivates the sensitive use of Arts to thwart norms, since words, so well ordered as they are, have led all living things to the dawn of its extinction. 
He is a musical storyteller, who persists in seeking balance. 
A systems analyst, chasing dogmas. 
Who loves to laugh and observe the ridiculous raised into norms. 
Often submerged with these internal voices, he seeks for the most poetic one. 
He strives to understand Man from the peaks of his beauty to the abyss of his stupidity, 
Not to extract a certain morality from him or stand as a judge of this show
But to forge the best possible path by understanding as best as possible the material of which it is made.
Instrumental musical project, a little Zappaian, with touches of Mr Bungle, Secret Chief 3, John Zorn, Naked City , Nirvana, Tex Avery, Pantera, Steve Coleman, Tigran Hamasyan... 
Composed of three seasoned musicians from very varied backgrounds who enrich the subject.

Hope our sound could speak to you and obviously your soul.

Kind regards, 
ZHORHANN
