ZU93 is an exciting collaboration that began three years ago when members of avant rock band ZU, and David Tibet met in Italy.  The result is an eerie sonic exploration.

David Tibet is the founder of Current 93, his work within this group and with Psychic TV, Death in June, Bjork and Steve Ignorant of Crass has cemented his place as one of the most important artists and lyricists in the experimental music world – touching on folk, industrial, dark ambient and more. ZU are an experimental Italian band who fuse noise, avant rock, math, jazz and punk.

While ZU may be playing an acoustic set, the head of the new project alone will make sure that they will sound nothing like the neo-folk movement or other types of flowery Americana. With Current 93, David Tibet, who was given his name by none other than the brilliantly deranged Genesis P. Orridge, founded a project in the early 1980s that came to coin its very own, artificial-theatrical understanding of folk. On the album, “Black Ships Ate The Sky”, from 2006, Tibet featured, among others, his admirers such as Baby Dee, Antony, Marc Almond and Bonnie Prince Bily. The ZU93 project was started three years ago, when members of Italian band ZU (who have also collaborated with other high-energy providers such as Eugene Chadbourne, Mike Patton or Buzz from the Melvins) were planning to record the soundtrack for a film on satanism in the industrial regions of  northern Italy. At the time, the established outsider artist David Tibet also happened to be in Rome for a private view and was so taken with the ZU-project that they founded ZU93 together.
