G. ZIFCAK is a musician and audiovisual artist living in NYC. He has been a steady presence in various scenes stretching from late 90s Portland raves through 2000s Bay Area experimental club and noise shows in warehouses and basements across the US and Europe, to 2010s Bossa Nova Civic Club nights and beyond. His solo tracks have appeared on vinyl compilations by NYC labels Fifth Wall and Broken Call, along with an EP on Voodoo Down offshoot Rock 'n' Roll Records under the alias Hauser/Quaid. Several other tracks have appeared on CD, cassette and digital compilations, including the first two Bizaarbazaar comps.

A preoccupation with de- and re-contextualized music and production equipment motivates his approach to audio, video, and lighting systems. This deconstruction of mechanism led him into DIY electronics early on, and he continues to build and modify much of his gear. His methods employ an economy of means and a focus on material phenomena that carries over into the aesthetics of his work. Documentation of selected pieces can be found here: www.gzifcak.net.

In 2015, Bizaarbazaar stumbled upon the enigmatic track “Coughs” (included in this collection) on G. ZIFCAK’s Soundcloud page. Impressed by the raw and unconventional creativity, Bizaarbazaar featured the track, foreshadowing future collaboration between them.
