Project Z - Project Z (2009)

The Story
 
"Project Z" is Jimmy Herring, Ricky Keller and Jeff Sipe, a musical force manifested from years of mutual admiration, love of music and the power of Z. "Project Z" is a mysterious, sonic field with no set boundaries or rules. Rawness, elegance, inside jokes, suffering and intensity create a powerful soundscape for their eponymous debut for Terminus Records. This is the dream of three masters who take the listener on a divine, instrumental journey through time. The open-ended opportunity for musical free-reign was a welcome endeavor for two former members of the Aquarium Rescue Unit (ARU,) drummer Jeff Sipe (aka Apt. Q258) and guitarist Jimmy Herring, who teamed up with famed producer/bassist Ricky Keller and monster organ/keyboardist Oliver Wells for "Project Z"'s self-titled debut.
