About Me:
 
According to a fictitious etymology, the term Zn'shñ signifies : the gleam of dark colours. Deliberately antithetic and intentionally enigmatic, Zn'shñ is enthused by Butoh iconography, Japanese Gagaku aesthetic and Tibetan rituals codification.

Operating as a dual electronic unit (Elvire Bastendorff & Franck Smith), Zn'shñ deepens some very specific works around digital phonocrafting and noise manufacturing.

Designed for public performances & soundtrack production, the répertoire is a suite sonic equations, graphical sound formulas & audiovisual works.
