Zea + Xavier Charles

Since 2008 Zea has been the solo project of Arnold de Boer. He’s also a singer and guitarist in legendary Dutch band The Ex. Before 2008 Zea was a duo and earlier a five piece band, but the songs were always written, arranged, recorded and produced by De Boer. His label, Makkum Records was formed in 2009 with intention to release his own projects, but since 2012 the label has offered many other eccentric releases.

Xavier Charles is an amazing clarinet player from France working mostly in the international improvised music scene. The combination with the open minimal guitar play of Zea (Arnold de Boer) works like a treat.
