Zs was founded in 2000 and has existed as a trio, sextet, and quartet,
now solidifying into the quartet formation of Sam Hillmer (tenor
saxophone), Ben Greenberg (electric guitar), Amnon Freidlin (electric
guitar), and Ian Antonio (drum set). While Zs' music has been variously
categorized as no-wave, brutal-prog, and post-minimalist, it is
primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and
mental limitations of both performer and listener. Manipulating
extended technique, unique instrumental synthesis, and near telepathic
communication, Zs aims to create works that envelop the listener and
unfold sonically over time, evoking unspoken past, present, and future
rites and ritual.
