No Copy Protection’s twenty first release is a subtle and melodious affair, Hector Zarate’s sophomore release under the HZ moniker

At first, the title might make you think about high speed chases (by foot or motorized), intelligence agencies, guns and “fancy karate gimmicks” in a city full of compact cars and sinusoidal police sirens. That’s great! I love the idea. But underneath this thrilling approach, this release is also about a particular sensation when traveling, about how theatrical our daily lives can be.

I came to notice, particularly under “business and pleasure” trips, that life becomes short spans of new identities in which each new city invites you into new habits and routines, new people, new loves and a set of ephemeral things that will somehow vanish on the next train or plane.
Traveling or not, it seems we were all spies with ephemeral identities.

So, after my last beloved release one year ago, An Upcoming Summer, I’m glad share this shinny and brand-new EP entitled Living Undercover.Uop!” Héctor Zarate (HZ)

Hector also has collaborated with two interactive contemporary art pieces in exhibition at Centro Cultural de España, in downtown México City as part of the Medialab Prado program. Stop by and check them out.
