About Black Light Generator

Formed in 2004, Black Light Generator is the Solo musical expression of former ROBED IN EXILE & NEGATIVEHEAD/OMEGA COMPLEX vocalist & Multi-instrumentalist, Jeremy Zumaran. Besides these two projects, Jeremy has done session work, Performed with World Renound Looping innovator, Rick Walker in "THE 1st SANTA CRUZ FESTIVAL OF VOICE + ELECTRONICA" & and an Industrial/ beatbox/ butoh improv show, just to name a few. The music of "Black Light Generator" melts from Metal to electronica and all points in between... biting you with brutality and caressing you with beauty. Mr. Zumaran is on an endless task to challenge himself as well as the listener. These musical incantations are vessels that transport the listener out of their comfort zone and into his world of chaos, catharsis and self-liberation. He has said that through his music, he strives to "Paint an audio portrait of death, reflection and rebirth" and would like to "leave a beautiful scar on the face of the planet".

Quote/Unquote

"As long as I've known Jeremy, he has impressed me with the strength and the strangeness of it. He's both a fantastic pen and ink drawer and I am one of the lucky ones to own a piece that he made specifically for my large hand image collection and also a very talented multi-instrumentalist and , even more importantly, singer. It's his singing that just does me in: He has incredible control of his voice and is exceedingly idiosyncratic in his use of it in both live and recorded contexts. I did one show with him using a very dark Butoh theme and he really impressed me with his vision, his ability to improvise and his control over a wonderful variet of timbres, pitches and sound effects with his voice. A truly unique artist who I'm very proud to have been fortunate enough to share the same stage with. Watch for this one. Trust me."
