Description

'People of the Dawn' is the debut album from Spencer Zahn, bassist, multi- instrumentalist, and composer. He has spent the last several years as an in-demand sideman and collaborator, touring and recording with artists from across a wide musical spectrum. While traveling as a bassist and keyboard player, Zahn started recording synthesiser experiments in his off time. These experiments - musical snapshots of cities all over the world - became the foundation of 'People of the Dawn', an album that seeks to merge the chaotic wisdom of jazz improvisation with the warm pulse of electronica.

'People of the Dawn' sees Zahn step away from the stage and into the studio with his own boundary pushing ideas. The record centres around the bass as a sound and instrument of melodic expression. Using the bass as an anchor for spectral synth textures, Zahn weaves the acoustic and electronic together. Throughout the record there's a dialogue between experimental electronics and contemporary jazz motifs that feels like uncharted territory. The result is a strange new map that casts Zahn as both cartographer and explorer of the sound.

''Dawn' was recorded in Brooklyn in collaboration with producer Dave Harrington, virtuoso guitarist and member of electronic duo, Darkside. The album features Zahn in conversation with Harrington’s electronic processing, manipulating acoustic instruments in real-time, the two longtime collaborators searching for, and creating, new forms for improvising. 'People of the Dawn' was made in the spirit of a jazz album with the tools of contemporary electronic music.
