Zhen
was formed in early 2003 as a Fusion Clash three-piece
outfit. It's sound is an amalgamation of Progressive
Rock, Funk and Classical Music and Jazz.
The logo Zhen, symbolises Ingenuity in Mandarin. It
is designed to look like an antiquated Official Chinese
stamp, enforcing its Asian ethnicity and implying that
the band’s music shall be a distinct trade-mark
of its own. This strong imagery is a reflection of the
intense ferocity in Zhen’s song-writing and performance
processes.
With Eclectic Influences culled from the likes of Spyro
Gyra, Rush, Bela Fleck and the Fleck Tones, Liquid Tension
Experiment, John Petrucci, Vito Bratta, and Crytopsy
etc. Zhen’s original compositions are not bounded
by any musical conventions and often fuse various styles
within a song.
