ZZU2000

I originally played bass in a somewhat successful shoegaze band. This ended when I suddenly lost the use of my left arm. The band let me go so I decided to continue on as Zizou2000 making ambient/chillwave/dreamwave/shoegaze music on my computer.

At this time I am limited to my Akai MPK Mini keyboard. Before the situation with my left arm I played bass, guitar and some drumming.

I currently use GarageBand with a bunch of additional plugins to help me create the music in my head.

The only hardware I use is a Akai MPK Mini keyboard.

Right now Boards of Canada hasn't left my playlist in over a month. If I listen to anything else at this time it would be Aphex Twin, Plaid, Spiritualized or Bauhaus.

I feel my music has elements of ambient, chill wave, shoegaze and electro pop. As I am pretty new to this process of songwriting for electronic based music I don't think I have a definitive sound locked down yet.

Prior to my injury I worked in the printing ink industry and then as a caseworker for a public assistance agency. As of now I am retired and waiting to hear back about long-term disability. If I'm not making music you would likely find me watching soccer.
