Zool. stands for subtle electronic music with an acoustic twist. Dubby beats, crispy percussion and melancholic melodies.
Zool. is the nickname of Gerry Vergult, who has a long history in Belgian popmusic, starting out in the early eighties with his band Aroma Di Amore, who already mixed guitars with electronic rhythms. Throughout the years Gerry developped his skills in electronic musicmaking. This resulted in two albums so far: Vadem in 2006 and Camera in 2009.
The use of perfect melodies and harmonic structures makes this album sound hypnotising.

Dankzij het gebruik van perfecte melodieën en harmonieconstructies klinkt deze plaat
waanzinnig hypnotiserend. De veelgelaagde weelde van de meest uiteenlopende, maar

Melodies that slowly seduce with subtle beauty and delicate beats who invite to swing.
Melodieën waarvan de subtiele schoonheid je langzaam verleidt ('Eva', 'Tereza') en delicate beats die tot meewiegen uitnodigen. (Christophe Verbiest in Humo)
It’s a long time ago since we have been overwhelmed by an album in the style of Arovane and Pole, but Gerry Vergult is a craftsman.
Lang geleden dat we nog eens werden omvergeblazen door een elektronische
plaat in de stijl van Arovane en Pole, maar Gerry Vergult is een vakman. (Toon Staes in Rif Raf)

‘Camera’ is de definitieve bevestiging van 's mans talent.

‘Vadem’ is a dark and mysterious piece of work that perfectly fits in the universe of labels as Morr or Warp.
‘Vadem’ is een donker en bevreemdend werkstuk dat perfect thuishoort in het universum van labels als Morr of Warp. (Dirk Steenhaut in De Morgen)
'Zool makes minimalistic, perfectly tailored listening music. Every effect makes sense and gets the space to prove this. 'Ep One' is a subtle example of intimacy.' (Koen Van Meel on Kwadratuur)
