THN059 >> THEODOR ZOX - PASTELS 1-4
[28.06.2004 | CLEVER CRACKING CONCRETE MINIMAL PEARLS]

Theodor Zox age 26, was born and raised in Copenhagen Denmark,
where he lives and works as a graphic designer. His love for
music starts at a very early age, when his father, a disc
jockey of the 70's, exposes him to Jazz, Funk, Disco, Dub and
Kraftwerk. Theodor buys his first Computer and Keyboard in 94
and immediately starts working on his first musical experiments.
Later that year he hears Basic Channel and Detroit Minimalism
on a local radio station for the first time,  for when he music-
wise found his true calling. From that point he dedicates most
of his music making time in finding out what makes this music
tick. Being a very discrete and perfectionist person, he spends
all his spare time learning about and writing music for himself,
and his close friends. Theodor is the sort of musician who can
easily work for months on one single piece of music, being fully
aware that the particular track will never get further exposure,
because he’s hardly satisfied with the result. From 1998 - 2002
he lost all interest in exposing his music to other people, to
spend all his time exploring and learning new tools and tech
-niques. In late 2002, with the birth of his son, Zox finds new
inspiration in music – the most productive period of his music
making starts.

Musicwise Theodor now settled in the deeper end of Techno & House
minimalism, where harmony, texture and propulsive rhythms are the
most important ingredients. Therefore the “Pastels 1-4” EP on
Thinner is a prime example of a unique and modern approach to
Minimalism, with new techniques and a very clean sound. Theodor
manages to spice up his Minimal House outlets with sharp and
concrete hisses, pops and bypassing pads. Zox effects a feeling
that every oh-so-little sound is truly defined.

The four track EP starts with “Oker Motion”, synth pads drip-
ping from the ceiling that get framed in by unordinary bass-
lines and tactical beat programming. “B.Script” is a dry and
clean rocker - edited on every end with funky basslines and
groovey stabs. A groover that makes your feet tap immediately.
Zox doesn’t need a delay hideout and also doesn’t deorientate
in wide hallrooms. His sound is very concentrated and can be
fairly easy described being clever. “Deep Fog” is even more
full with dry scatterplots and waving basslines. Smooth pads
float by like clouds in the background. The fourth cut “Dawn
In Blue” reflects Theodor’s  ambient origins with skillful
floating pads. The glassy bassline and very versatile playful
elements make this song a secure hit for warmer days. Theodor
Zox has releases upcoming on various other established labels,
so you should take notice of him again shotly.
