Rudi Zygadlo

Rudi Zygadlo’s is a musi­cian like no other, tak­ing the fun­da­men­tals of dub­step in a direc­tion that is as unex­pected as it is unique, he’s cre­ated an amal­ga­ma­tion of pop song writ­ing with a con­tem­po­rary elec­tronic rewiring which is heavy with influ­ences as wide as Frank Zappa, John Car­pen­ter, East­ern Euro­pean Clas­si­cal music and con­tem­po­rary US indie.

Work­ing like a dis­ci­plined artist, Rudi’s music squeezes the most out of what he’s got, work­ing with a restricted palette of sounds, using no plug-ins, but lay­er­ing on live instru­ments to give the music an added depth, and the results are astounding.

He describes his music essen­tially as a fusion, a form of music he’s had in his head which brought together the music he enjoys into a new for­mat. The music he’s going to release in 2010 sounds effort­less and com­pletely nat­ural, and will be released first as a sin­gle and then as a com­plete album in April called Great West­ern Laymen.

The title of the album pays homage to his res­i­dence in Glas­gow which sits between two churches on Great West­ern Road. There is a strong eccle­si­as­ti­cal theme which runs through­out the lyrics which gives the album yet another layer of intrigue. ‘Great West­ern Lay­men’ is a future clas­sic in the making.
