Colchester

This is the debut collaborative release by Z'ev and Pita, recorded live. Both of these artists barely need any introduction: Z'ev is basically the high-guru of industrial music and Pita (Peter Rehberg) is the Austrian co-director of the Editions Mego label. These two heavyweights of experimental music have been associates for two decades. This creative collaboration called Colchester came about after a meeting in 2004, which led to a monthly file exchange program in 2005. Instead of releasing results immediately, they decided to test the material in a live setting. Performances were held in Vienna and throughout the UK during 2006. Colchester is the final result of this process. A mesmerizing and intense collision of Z'ev's acoustic percussion work and Pita's computer manipulation. This is one absolutely thunderous, continuous track, split into 11 parts. Recorded at the Colchester Arts Centre in 2006, mixed by Z'ev in London in 2008. Mastered at Piethopraxis in Cologne. Designed by SOMA. Limited edition of 500 copies.
