Charles Hayward: Zigzag+Swirl is an electric set: drums, voice, electronics. music of physicality and fire alarms, lyrical collage of slang, catchphrase and defiance. I’ve been making this music all my life. It keeps changing in front of my ears. Vanguard/Street. Strong beats, stark textures, simple tunes, controlled chance. No 2 performances are the same. And yet everything is structured and geared towards electric song. Enthusiasm and energy. Forward sound! Vanguard/Street. South East London noise.

Charles Hayward: Zigzag+swirl is a solo set of drums, voice, zigzag and swirl, songs in quantum funk, never the same twice, no click, no fixed zero point; forget concepts, this music does not exist in its own orbit it is completed by ears, minds, bodies, the interplay between intent and perception. From This Heat to now: Forward Music!
