Zach Watson, Georgia, Music - Zach takes influences from all over the world in sound. Samples of pop and folk music from Asia, Africa and South America are mangled, flipped and  glitched into shimmering bursts of sound; electronic growls bubble beneath off-kilter loops and sugar-sweet pop melodies. His music is an introspective exploration of trauma and mental illness; a study in joyful juxtaposition and a test of how far sounds can be pushed before flying off the rails.
