  Hector Zazou
French musician Hector Zazou's quest for sounds and songs with a difference took him North, to find ethnic drumming from Siberia, joik chanting from Lapland, and the disappearing folk music of the world's Northern tribes -- which he combined with contributions from himself and world-famous artists, to create a unique musical experience.
Zazou's solution is truly an indictment of how far modern digital technology still has to go, and how old-fashioned hands-on solutions, however unlikely, often still have the edge: "What I did was change the pitch of her vocals by ear whilst recording overdubs -- manually, using the varispeed on the ADAT.
Zazou stresses that the mixing stage is very important to him; it's during this phase that he adds another set of treatments: "I add many treatments to various instruments, like mandola, koto, pedal steel guitar, wind instruments and so on, either in my studio or during the mix.

  VH1.com : Hector Zazou : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
Zazou and Bikaye attracted the attention of European and New York City trendsetters, and their music became a fixture on the club scene for a time.
But Zazou's real talent was first displayed on his next release, the bizarre Reivax Au Bongo, a so-called musical "photo-novel," with an accompanying booklet, set in the mythical kingdom of Bongo.
As composer and arranger, Zazou utilizes the vocal talents of both Bikaye and another prominent African artist, Kanda Bongo Man, as well as an operatic mezzo-soprano, but in contexts far removed from Africa, traditional opera, or anything else.

Here, Zazou and Dillon have freed themselves from the usual restraints and conventions in order to assemble this suite of unique pieces.
Zazou works more like a movie director, freely manipulating all the musical ingredients, bringing out their dramatic best.
It may be more apparent in Sandy's case: "her voice is a rasping, husky wheeze, it's pitched somewhere between the smoky desperation of Janis Joplin and the gravelly tones of Tom Waits...

Zazou's strength and versatility as a composer and director are unmistakable on this release.
Their absence is not a disaster, however, as there is a plethora of extremely talented musicians working with Zazou.
It may have something to do with the fact that Frenchman Zazou, who was born and raised in Algeria but was forced to move to France, appears to be uprooted and permanently caught between at least two worlds.

 Buy.com - Songs From The Cold Seas - Hector Zazou - CD
Hector Zazou's career has come a long way since his noteworthy recordings for Belgian avant-garde label Made To Measure.
Zazou uses talents such as Bjork, Suzanne Vega, John Cale, Jane Siberry, and Siouxsie, dribbling their seductive vocal phrasings over songs of shimmering, dusky electronics and worldbeat rhythms like sweet raspberry sauce over a chocolate sorbet.
It's a tasty concoction: the techno-folk stylings of "The Lighthouse," the chunky Japan-like global funk of "Adventures in the Scandinavian Skin Trade," the crisp jazzy ambience of "The Long Voyage." And through it all, Zazou and his compatriots suggest journeys into desolate climates and exotic locales, rippled with fits of longing, melancholia, and delight.

 HECTOR ZAZOU - Strong Currents
‘Strong Currents’ is 13 tracks of pure elegance from Hector Zazou, featuring 12 female vocalist, plucked from an international musical playground.
Teaming up with Giampiero Bigazzi, Zazou’s latest craftsmenship begins with perhaps the most recognisable female vocalist of all, as Laurie Anderson records her characteristic spoken voice on the opening, ‘Into Your Dreams’.
There is not doubt that ‘Strong Currents’ is one of Zazou’s finest works to date, a deeply romantic album, blending a huge array of vocal talents into a warm sea of undulating stings and classical themes, but with a strangely contemporary electronic edge.

 Hector Zazou: Album Reviews, Biography - MOG
There is Arab music and moving to the West, electronic dance floor beats with a female singer singing “I’ll strangle you” as French actor Gérard Depardieu recites the Rimbaud poem it’s taken from.
That’s right, Zazou devoted a whole album to the poetry of the original punkster, author of “A Season In Hell”.
I’d only paraphrase and quote from Zazou’s Allmusic bio and maybe you’re intrigued enough to go there and read it yourself.
