Biography of Zen Paradox
Australian artist Steve Law has been experimenting with music making since the age of 15 (1982) by using 2 ghetto blasters, a short-wave radio, kitchen utensils, a home-made percussion kit and various other sound-producing objects.
Obtaines his first synthesizer in 1983 (a Realistic/Moog MG-1 which he still uses today), and learns quickly the basics of analog synthesis.
Developes a reputation as one of the leading exponents of electronic music in Australia and beyond. Most successfull project so far is known as Zen Paradox.
Zen Paradox was established in 1991 by Steve Law as a solo outlet for his more techno oriented electronic music work. Steve has previously been a member of the groups Foil and Guild of Fire, and is a current member of Black Cab and High Pass Filter.
His other solo projects include Mutagenic Mind, Mr. Suspicious and Solitary Soul. Steve has been producing avant garde and electro-acoustic music since 1984, and in 1996 was awarded the ABC Classic FM Computer Music Award for his composition 'Urbania'. He has collaborated with many other artists, including recorded works as Starseed Transmission (with Andrew Park), The Sonic Voyagers (with Voiteck), Retreat Syndrome (with Andrew Belcher), The Mutagen Server (with Ollie Olsen), Son of Science (with Andrew Garton) and Memory Geist (with Bakis Sirros). His live collaborators include Monolake, Andy Vaz, Atom Heart, Tetsu Inoue, Riou Tomita, Alistair Riddell, Ash Wednesday, Stephen Richards, Sean Baxter, Tom Fryer, Rod Cooper, Ai Yamamoto, James Wilkinson, Dale Nason and The Terminal Quartet. The latest Zen Paradox album Numinosum is available from iTunes.
