This was a spontaneous creation (from my perspective) on a little Kawaii 74-key board I used to have, before I got my Kurzweill. Jeff Olson added the backing synths. I thought this would give you a good idea of the "different" styles I can play in... the other album that's up right now ("Zee Zzaj Zinger") features a much more reckless R&R/Jazz style.
We hope you dig this enough to give us a review, pro OR con!

Nice track! your music has a unique intricate style of ambience I find very peaceful, tells a story.
Great stuff

ok, this one has me picking my jaws up from the floor, brb....lol. Simply a beautiful composition my friend and a testament to your repertoire of exploring new territorys. A wonderful piece to kick back and stare out my window and day dream away!

This sounds so different from other tunes of yours I have heard. Nice "broadening" composition.

Ah now this I could quite happily settle back with.
Something imidiately appealing about this.
It has room to breathe,that I like.
It takes it's time and it gives each note it's due attention.
Any slower it would have dragged and any faster it would have felt hurried,so perfect pacing IMHO.
Beautiful and serene mate,like this a lot
Sigh......

Very cool just to hear you 7 just them keys at your fingertips. Very cool. Much of the time I've associated you with this instrument; however it has been behind the shadows of other sounds & multi-mixing instruments.
This feels like I'm on the beach with the waves being calming...this tune is a calming tune. Great feeling emitting here-nice tingling shivers on the synth add a nifty cool touch.
Superb ZZAJ. LOVE THIS. - Your friend. -Vesa.

Above all else, what we've always hoped comes through in our music is a sense that if you maintain your sense of INDEPENDENCE, you can make just about anything happen that you want... more as it happens!
Rotcod Zzaj grew outta' th' fermentation that wuz' th' '60's; alla' th' "hex"periences from those times that yer' could possibly imagine (both sweet & sour) were what created his attitudes towards music & th' playing thereof.
Th' name is (as you prob'ly awready recognize) a perversion of "Doctor Jazz"; buncha' doodz' in th' early '80's started tellin' this Zzaj that hiz music wuz TRULY TWISTED, a form of BACKWARDS jazz, ergo th' name!
Tho' Zzaj haz attached th' moniker of (irr)Reverend to his nick, there's no "cosmic mystic crapola" involved... th' premise of ALL Zzaj Productions (tapes, CD's, a 20 page paper 'zine, & a chap or two) izzat' music & art BELONG to th' PEOPLE! NOT to some self-assigned "guardians" of our morality (if we're IMmoral - we need to FIX it ourSELVES, right?)... ...or some PRIEST of the PROPER, who tells hiz flock what to wear, what to eat, what to breathe - who to BE! Well, ya' won't find ANY o' that krap at ZP! Plain & simple, we're about music that the PEOPLE produce, whether for themselves, just for friends, or perhaps for radioplay... what- EVER... ya' got it, send it to US for review & comment!
We ALSO need ALL of your D.I.Y. material - tapes/CD's/vinyl/7"'s... &, DESPITE the (slightly misleading) TITLE - we want ALL genres! I don't care WHAT form it takes (or doesn't) - AS LONG as the ENERGY is there... a TRUE LOVE of playing is what gets your music a rave review here. (Virtually) ALL musical material sent in is reviewed! We also take S-H-O-R-T poems (NO heartz&flowerz pleez!!!), in PARTICULATE stuff that is (after ANY fashion) related to MUSIC!!!
LET US HEAR you (& from you) at the snail (or e-mail) below:
