Artist description WORLD | ELECTRONIC (dance,ambient,new age, experimental) | MODERN ROCK | ACID JAZZ | FILM SCORE. The Sound: Grooves | Soothes | Head Trips | Soul Sips | Guitar Licks | Synth Blips | Qi Chants | Rave Rants. Zygote Productions is mostly a one person act: lanceKC with occasional guests. Given the diverse influences, the music can not stay in any one genre across the tracks. The common thread that connects all Zygote Productions' compositions is the hope of reaching out... connecting... provoking thought... dialog... catharsis of negativity... celebration of positivity... the healing... the dance... the meditation... the energy... The Soul.
