:Zoviet*France: is an idiosyncratic collective of anonymous postindustrialists, dronologists, and pseudo-ethnomusicologists. Their investigations have taken them into fictional cultures where nothing is easily located and reality often slips into the hypnagogic. Having secluded themselves in Newcastle, England since their inception in 1982, :Zoviet*France: have developed a radical relationship with the cheap technologies of old-fashioned tape recorders, homemade acoustic instruments, primitive looping and sampling devices, and basic dub trickery. From these machines, the collective has crafted a distinctly unique vocabulary of postindustrial sonic hypnosis. Just as :Zoviet*France:'s sound was alchemic reconfigurations of inexpensive technologies, their vinyl packaging literally covered their sounds with aluminum, roofing shingles, and porcelain. Members in alphabetical order Paolo di Paolo (1984-1986), Andy Eardley (1990-1995), Lisa Hale (1980-1981), Peter Jensen (1980-1984), Ben Ponton (1980-present), Mark Spybey (1987-1989), Robin Storey (1980-1992), Mark Warren (1995-present).
Their music, often consisting of droning textures set against fractured tribal rhythms and fleeting dissonant melodies, is frequently made from neglected sounds: obscure radio broadcasts, toy instruments, field recordings, and other odds and ends, often heavily processed or looped. They have increasingly added electronic elements but without adopting computer based composition techniques over time. In describing the approach to making their music, the group has been quoted as saying: “All audio equipment distorts sound to some degree and, eventually through mechanical and electrical failure, f *ucks it up. Since indeterminacy as a compositional parameter has been a constant in our work, this often produces what we regard as interesting new developments. Close musically to industrial, Nurse with wound, Thomas Koner, De Fabriek, Asmus Tietchens and Giancarlo Toniutti, Hafler Trio, Whitehouse, LAFMS, Coil, John Duncan, Maurizio Bianchi, Merzbow, Organum and Boyd Rice, Metgumbnerbone, New Blockaders, minimal / synth, Nocturnal Emissions.
