ZONDER WEHRKAMP, featuring drummer Mark Zonder and guitarist/keyboardist Gary Wehrkamp, released their debut album “If It’s Real” on May 24, 2019! Today the band has unveiled Mark Zonder‘s 4th segment of the 5 part video, dealing with the electronics being incorporated into the kit, watch it here!

Mark comments:
“Here is the 4th segment of my 5 part video series on how I recorded the drums for the debut of the Zonder/Wehrkamp album. This is a very interesting segment as it deals with how I incorporated the electronic samples and sounds into my playing. Everything on this record was played live. We did not overdub or program tracks as we thought it would sound to sterile and loose some of the organic feel we were looking for. Yes, if you listen closely you can hear the music flow in a very natural-non programmed way . I have been using electronics for years and years and take pride in that I was one of the few that really embraced and incorporated the electronics into my sound. Enjoy.”

Mark Zonder comments on new album:
“Please listen to the Zonder/Wehrkamp album as new music, a new experience. Yes, it is Gary Wehrkamp and myself doing the entire record ourselves and artists trademark sounds usually come through the music, but this is not a Warlord, Shadow Gallery or Fates record. This is just Gary and I being creative in a dark, moody and atmospheric way. Enjoy the journey.”

While ZONDER WEHRKAMP takes the two musicians on a different path, their musical pasts are very much influences on their current project. “If It’s Real” resonates with a tenebrous emotional intensity wrapped in a more melodic, ethereal sound and philosophical take on progressive hard rock.
