Majeure

The project of Zombi’s A.E. Paterra, Majeure — which took its name through the Tangerine Dream record Power Majeure — delves right into a somewhat different world of electronic-leaning prog rock and roll than his use Steve Moore, rather exploring a far more rhythmic, danceable strategy. Along with distributed Zombi influences such as for example Tangerine Fantasy, Jean Michel Jarre, and Vangelis, Paterra attracts Majeure’s motivation from John Carpenter, Steve Reich, Philip Cup, and Can, aswell as writers Philip K. Dick and William Gibson. When Moore’s prolific songwriting produced him opt to begin releasing music by himself aswell as continue with Zombi, Paterra made a decision to stick to fit. After Zombi toured using the like-minded Short lived Residence music group Maserati, he discovered a house for Majeure’s debut record, 2010’s Timespan. Early in 2012, Moore and Majeure released a divided LP, Brainstorm; that Oct, Paterra’s second Majeure record, Solar Maximum, came. On 2014’s Termination Surprise, Paterra went within an also colder, even more minimal direction, as the cassette discharge Union of Worlds made an appearance the following season. After a active 2016 that included travels supporting Black Hill, Mogwai, and S U R V I V E, Majeure released the percussion-heavy Apex EP early another year.
