Recordings
ZAKI Intermedia · Released October 1, 2026
Residual Signals
The source is gone. The signal isn’t.
Eight pieces written between 1993 and 2012, remastered and rebuilt from the original recordings. The collection is a time capsule of earlier work and the seeds of the music that followed.
Album notes and track list
These pieces had a few performances before attention moved on. I returned to see what remained, remastering, re-editing, and sometimes rebuilding them from the original recordings.
The point was to amplify the signals, put them somewhere new, and listen again.

- Brume
- Fugue (from it comes to tell us it is gone)
