The Z Suites

Description

WRWTFWW Records is happy to announce the release of a limited edition gold vinyl of "The Z Suites" by Casimir Liberski ReTRio, a complete jazz album reinterpreting the music from the cult Nintendo video game series, "The Legend of Zelda." This epic journey in Z?Jazz is available in a limited edition of 300 copies: a double LP gold vinyl 180g mastered at half-speed, presented in a thick sleeve with obi! Casimir Liberski reinvents the golden age of video game soundtracks with jazz versions of the iconic Zelda tracks: "The Legend of Zelda" ?1986?, "A Link to the Past" ?1991?, "Link's Awakening" ?1993) and "Ocarina of Time" ?1998?, not to mention a few surprises! Navigating between nostalgia and avant-garde, the Brussels-based pianist and composer creates a sound universe of pixelated folklore where melody and improvisation coexist in perfect harmony.
Music critic Arthur Meurant explains it wonderfully: For many, video games are a journey of the mind. Since its beginnings in the early 70s, this avant-garde artistic medium has fueled the imagination of the digital age. Casimir, like so many others, has been immersed in a world of pixels since a young age. From simple squares to cornerstones of culture, they have become the path on which mind travelers, players, and the curious traverse the steppes of history. A shared universe, familiar yet infinite, a miniature mythology. Its name? Hyrule. Its purpose? To amaze. In these carefully selected pieces, Casimir Liberski ReTRio finally invites you to visit a space that does not yet exist and that contains us all. A land where everyone feels welcome. Where everyone is happy. But also… to rediscover, in another dimension, the classic compositions of master composer Koji Kondo. A man who, unknowingly, has composed our dreams as much as our music. This noble and unique quest, where the artist gives himself body and soul without losing himself, is once again an affirmation of humanity in its purest form: art as what unites us and restores our integrity in a world ravaged by modernity.
