ZYkR

ZYkR is an electronic collective that lives somewhere between the electronica of Massive Attack and the experimentation of Velvet Underground; mixing equal parts glitch and ambient with riff-driven, lyric-heavy rock.

Led by Aseem Suri. Collective members include fellow Berklee College of Music alumni Pedro Zappa (Bass and Synths) and Donnie Hogue (Drums). The live band employs left-field electronic music techniques using triggers, samplers and loopers to create an experience that is as visual as it is aural. While singing about themes ranging from political inaction and paranoia, to addiction and voyeurism, ZYkR borrows from the culture of musique concrete, infusing performances with field recordings, speech samples, poetry and projections.
