Information about Zaum

Zaum was an electronica project band that includes Tool drummer Danny Carey, along with Tool associates Chris Pitman, Vince DeFranco, and Marco Fox.

The official Tool newsletter of April 2000 had the following to say the about the project:
Zaum had some demos available a few years ago through Tool's management, Larrikin. Lately the members Marco Fox, Danny Carey, and Mother Goose have been too busy to put something out, but are hoping to go through over twenty hours of material to put something together.

Discography

Currently ZAUM have only released one demo. The track listing of this demo is as follows:
  1. "Apparatus"
  2. "Merkaba"
  3. "Psychedelic Experience"
  4. "Serpent"
These tracks are all available to download at the link below (see External Links).

Trivia

  • All Zaum members can be considered as Tool alumni. Pitman and Fox are featured on the band's album Ænima. Pitman plays synthesizer on "Third Eye", while Fox contributed vocals for "Die Eier von Satan". In addition, DeFranco worked as an engineer on Lateralus.
  • The track "Apparatus" begins with a sample taken from the 1979 film Caligula, delivered by Malcolm McDowell: "I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God."
  • Although a track called "Merkaba" also appears on Tool's album Salival, according to the ZAUM website this isn't the same track as that on ZAUM's demo.http://crow13.club.fr/music/tool/english/zaum.htm

Zaum (Russian: заумь or заумный язык) is a word used to describe the linguistic experiments in sound symbolism and language creation of Russian Futurist poets such as Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchenykh.

Coined by Kruchenykh in 1913, the word zaum is made up of the Russian prefix "beyond, behind" and noun "the mind, nous" and has been translated as "transreason" or "beyonsense" (Paul Schmidt). According to scholar Gerald Janecek, zaum can be defined as experimental poetic language characterized by indeterminacy in meaning.

As Kruchenykh has it, zaum is a transrational language, "wild, flaming, explosive (wild paradise, fiery languages, blazing coal)," which awakens creative imagination from the manacles of everyday speech. Zaum "can provide a universal poetic language, born organically, and not artificially like Esperanto."

Examples of zaum include Kruchenykh's poem "dyr bul schyl" and his libretto for the Futurist opera "Victory Over the Sun", and Khlebnikov's so-called "Language of the Birds", "Language of the Gods" and "Language of the Stars". The poetic output is perhaps comparable to that of the contemporary Dadaism but the linguistic theory or metaphysics behind zaum was entirely devoid of the gentle self-irony of that movement and in all seriousness intended to recover the sound symbolism of a lost aboriginal tongue. Exhibiting traits of a Slavic national mysticism, Kruchenykh aimed at recovering the primeval Slavic mother-tongue in particular.

In modern times, contemporary avant-garde poet Sergei Biriukov has founded an association of poets called the "Academy of Zaum" in Tambov. Other practitioners of zaum poetry include Serge Segay and Rea Nikonova.
