ZS was founded in 2000 and is Sam Hillmer (tenor saxophone), Ben Greenberg (electric guitar) and Ian Antonio (drum set). While Zs' music has been variously categorized as no-wave, noise, post-minimalist, drone, and psych, it is primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and mental limitations of both performer and listener. Manipulating extended techniques, unique instrumental synthesis, and near telepathic communication, ZS "...creates conceptual art objects that set form and content against each other - like, say, a perfect birthday cake made out of sawdust, or a perfect hammer made of bird feathers." (New York Times)
