Neville Brothers Very Best Of Aaron & Art Neville CD

Vancouver-based musician/composer Chad Nantais doesn't subscribe to that cynical present reality. With his debut CD Zero Ground, Nantais dares to push the boundaries of the medium using technology as both an inspiration and a tool. He opens up a world beyond the hype, where the message of the music is in how it was created.

That's pretty deep and pretentious-sounding hyperbole until you listen to the music and get caught up in the whimsical and eclectic soundscapes that Nantais weaves. It's a hybrid concoction of jazz fusion, electronica and multi-layered synthetic instruments. Zero Ground is the soundtrack to a modern world where machines allow one person to re-create what was once accomplished by an entire band, and technology can create as emotional a connection as a human. It's Frank Zappa meets the cyborg replicants from Blade Runner's Tyrell Corporation - a synthetic musical creation that's eerily 'More Human than Human'.

It's a sound and style that comes from the natural evolution of Nantais' strong background in both music and computers.
