Embarking on an incomparable auditory odyssey, underground electronic artist Elaine Walker is back with a fan-favorite rebranded album, “Four-Momentum,” ditching the ZIA moniker to distinctively represent his evolving musical identity. A luminary in the realm of microtonal (xenharmonic) music, Elaine's creative prowess extends far beyond the boundaries of traditional genres. Her eclectic portfolio includes titles such as published research mathematician, inventor of the vertical keyboard, and black belt martial artist.
A fervent advocate of human space exploration since the early 1990s, the five summers Elaine spent in the High Arctic documenting NASA-funded “Missions to Mars” underscore her commitment to intertwining her passion for music with exploration of the cosmos. . Founding ZIA (1991-2011), her all-synth band, Elaine used raw organic hardware synths to produce a sound that embodied an 80s-inspired intergalactic atmosphere. Now, with the name change to “Four- Momentum” to “Elaine Walker”, introduces a change in soundscapes, adopting a 70s club feel from the year 3000. The album, enriched with xenoharmonic scales and Bohlen-Pierce tuning, is an aural masterpiece that defies the conventional limits, exemplified in songs like “Magic Triangle”, where otherworldly notes blend perfectly in a hypnotic and unforgettable composition.
Elaine's retro yet avant-garde musical fusion serves as a testament to her boundless creativity and deep understanding of the marriage of mathematics and music theory. Her autism, often considered a superpower, allows her to reinvent and reimagine the complexities of her lifelong studies.
