ABOUT
Blending the lines between contemporary folk, experimental, soul and jazz; ZEAL.H is a songwriter and producer based in Muloobinba/Newcastle. With a sound described as 'pleasantly uncompromised', her textural compositions unfold with playful precision. The combination of ZEAL’s intuitive writing style with the exploratory musicianship of her ensemble gives a sonic body to liminal, nuanced emotions, while remaining deeply connected to the concept of place. Lush four-part harmonies move sideways through an ecosystem of percussion, acoustically controlled modular synth, elastic double bass, and undulating saxophone.
‘Expressive, lilting and powerful. ZEAL.H has a varied sound and utilises experimental elements that are entirely fresh, new and pleasantly uncompromised.'
- NIMA (Newcastle Improvised Music Association)
“Last night ZEAL.H & co broke my brain, awe and joy spilling out onto the floor. Such an incredibly distinctive group of captivating performers writing striking and genre-bending songs. Can’t recommend them highly enough. One of the most interesting and exciting acts I've had the pleasure and good fortune of seeing this year!!”
“I was absolutely entranced. It was ethereal and whimsical, yet weighty and passionate - plucking my heartstrings with a whirlwind of jazz, folk and soul. Truly one of the greatest gigs of my life.” - audience member, 2024
