Brooklyn based violinist, composer and producer Zachary Mezzo today confirms a new album, Home Movies: a collection of field recordings, DIY chamber music, and dissected songwriting, which will release with a limited run CD via Crane Operator on April 10.

Mezzo’s solo work melds a wide variety of recording methods and audio sources with raw takes of violin, voice, and processed piano to create an unusual collage of texture and style. Home Movies explores the moments between these sounds and amplifies them to expose the cracks. As a follow-up to his electronic focused noise-violin debut Proximity (2024), Home Movies follows a more organic path, inviting listeners to reflect in the quiet spaces created, while still maintaining a dissonant edge and a through-line of discomfort that is essential to Mezzo’s writing.

>A midnight walk in your neighborhood. A college piano practice session. A song you don’t remember writing. A note from a former lover. An evening commute, scored by church bells. A voicemail from a dead relative. A photo of someone you’ll never see again. An essay on your high school computer. Sheet music left under your bed. Your own voice in home videos of your childhood.<<
