Zammorian is a post-psychedelic / progressive post-rock collective that creates music, visuals and stories. It was founded by a group of Romanian artists and designers in late 2014.
Their music is instrumental, cinematic with progressive and electronic influences. Underneath the compositions lie mythos throughout short stories and narrative arcs, a distinct visual language and symbolism. These are revealed in time, sometimes through posters and live visuals. The entire story will be released as a novel.
The immersive shows are accompanied by a set of abstract live visuals, generated by Awkwarizmi, the VJ artist of the group, based on the story and the music.
The Theory of Absence [Pt. I] is available on all major streaming platforms & stores since its release in May 2019: Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Bandcamp, etc.

DayDay is an alternative indie band from Bucharest, Romania. Remembering night by day and forgetting day by night, DayDay arcs with brightening mellow chords from which it noons with high heat harmonies. Finally setting somewhere in the West, the band dims those moods with cowboy hats and lonesome lullabies.
Andrei Erdei - vocals, lead guitar
Ioana Negrea & Ruka Furtuna - vocals, charm
George Irimescu - bass guitar
Serban Popadiuc - guitar

Divine Astronaut are an electronic group featuring singer Livvy Holland and Producer/multi instrumentalist Moonhead. The duo describe their sound as night-time music that is downtempo alternative electronica with trip hop and industrial elements.
As the pair constantly travel, it was above 35,000 feet somewhere over Europe in August 2019 that the band came to fruition, Moonhead lamenting the absence of electronic acts from the 90’s in the current musical soundscape. With Holland in agreement, the duo vowed to start an electronic act and upon landing in Eastern Europe started work on their debut album.
They are currently working on their debut album which is due for release in 2020. Their first single ‘Undone’ is scheduled for release October 2019. A teaser for the video can be seen here:

Moonhead has said that producers Trevor Horn and BT have been inspirational and citing bands such as Portishead, Bjork, Enigma, Peter Gabriel, Massive Attack, NIN and Radiohead as influences.
