In an increasingly crowded musical landscape over-saturated with singles and generic “hits”, it’s refreshing to hear the work of under-the-radar artists who have meticulously honed their craft. Zachary Alonzo (aka mrgizmoe) is just such an artist.
A skilled sound designer and self-taught musician, Zachary has produced an exceptional collection of original tunes that capture a huge range of emotional depth and raw creativity. His unique ability to carve fantastical soundscapes from thin air using oscillators and effects makes for an exhilarating listening experience to say the least. One thing’s for sure, this 22 year old producer is poised to send some noticeable ripples through the electronic music world.
Zachary’s debut release, PRJKT:GZMO, is scheduled for release April 30, 2012 under the Busy Horse Records imprint. It will be available through major digital retailers, with a limited physical release to follow.
Recent mrgizmoe appearances include performances at the Beauty Bar in Las Vegas, W Lounge in Salt Lake City, and various underground electronic music events around Los Angeles. He’ll be back at the W Lounge on May 23rd so you won’t want to miss it!
Check out some preview of some of the new tracks from PRJKT:GZMO below:

I finished this track just in time for the show last Wednesday at W Lounge in SLC. This song reaches deep into my musical psyche, exploring distant memories of trance fuzziness and epic anime orchestration. Sit back, relax, and enjoy 
Just finished this underground remix of one of my favorite songs by NIN. I’ll be playing it somewhere in my set this coming Wednesday at W Lounge. If you’re in SLC 3/28 don’t miss out on a killer night for underground electronic music. I’m starting the night early @ 9pm so don’t be late!
Producer/DJ Mrgizmoe and DJ Jason David will finish off the night while I get my birthday on Be sure to check out the links to their music.
This is one of my new productions, LED’s & LP’s. This edit is an extended version that I use in my live set (plenty of outro beats). The beats were constructed from the ground up using custom drum kits and obscure texture samples I’ve recorded. To keep things reasonably organic, I tried to keep quantization (if any) as loose as possible. I always play and record each rhythmic phrase by hand in order to preserve dynamic midi velocity.
Let me know what you think of this new track!
Avril 14 has always been my favorite Aphex Twin song. I remember hearing it for the first time in a Salad Fingers cartoon or something. I randomly started playin with ideas yesterday and a few hours later it was done. I got completely lost in the music for a good while. If you like it find me on facebook or send me an email.
I finally released my solo album. It encapsulates the last three years of my life, featuring a track I started producing as early as 2009 (1111). Next is the live show, which is already in its final stages of preparation. So far the rig has stem-mixing capabilities, routed to a custom lemur multi-touch interface that I’ve designed. I’m also using a modified Akai APC40, Novation Launchpad, and a 25 key synth. I’d like to implement live visuals/video stuff too, but that’s kinda on the back burner for now.
I’m hosting an album release/birthday party at the end of March at W Lounge in SLC. I’ll be performing music from Horse Here Not Here, as well as exclusive remixes by the likes of mrgizmoe, Aluminum Forest, and more.
