CD
“Zero II Max”
Appearing @ Barking Legs Theater, 1307 Dodds Ave. Chattanooga
Friday May. 27th, 2016 8pm with Jamal and the Unstoppables
Exhibiting massive keyboard, electronic, recording and composing skills Tryezz (pronounced Trezz) exemplifies the D.I.Y. approach and refines it to a highly polished level with his 10 (yes TEN) self released full album song collections and 2 label releases. His current release Zero II Max Experience is a treasure chest of highly polished multi-layered sonic gems which Tryezz performs live on keyboards and loop effects... Funk, Jazz, Electronic, Global Grooves and Classical, are all influences on his style. It defies the brain that it's only one performer behind all this aural bliss.

Every song on this album has moments that could easily be used as perfect bumper music, segue’s or background for innumerable radio or TV broadcasts. It’s slick, powerful and straightforward melodious and NEVER comes across as canned, pre-fab, auto tuned or any of the current banes of electronic music but are results of live performance and natural keyboard and composing skills. My personal favorites are the bass heavy numbers toward the end of the album which emulate slap bass guitar and synthesizers combining elements of funk and hip hop.
Also a dancer & graphic artist, Tryezz is a full time dedicated multi media creative who deserves a BIG heads up from the local scene. He’s already getting noticed internationally for his recorded music… and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see some major label touring act snatch him up as their on-call keyboardist, especially with his original composing skills. ~R.
My favorite tracks on an album that really doesn’t contain any mistakes are;
#5 Riding on the Waves
#7 Digital Glisten
#10 The Chase (My personal favorite so far… ~R.)
#13 Zero II Max
#14 The Additive: Dreamers Dub
