about the record

Zimoun, a Swiss multidisciplinary artist known for immersive, site-specific installations shown in museums worldwide, turns his focus to sound on ModularGuitarFields I-VI. The album is based on the sounds of a Tenor Baritone Guitar, layered with select elements of a modular synth and a vintage 1960s Magnatone Amp.

The six compositions are minimalist yet sonically dense, showcasing Zimoun’s passion for raw, warm sounds and his mastery of creating sonic space. They function like living, transforming organisms—sonic sculptures teeming with movement, reminiscent of his mechanized installations, producing hypnotic, immersive environments. With intricate microstructures and subtle variations, the album reveals hidden layers that invite deep listening, turning what initially feels like an isolated, drone-based landscape into a world alive with detail and motion.
