Zero Times Everything is: 
Tony Geballe – Guitars, Synths, rhythms, Loops
Pietro Russino - Guitars, Loops, Violin, rhythms
Richard Sylvarnes - Kaoss Pads, Loops, Synths, guitars, rhythms, vocal

Tony, Richard, and Pietro first met at Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft Seminars at Claymont Court, then formed a group to provide live music for Richard Sylvnares’ epic film The Last Words of Dutch Shultz. ZXE continues playing live to Richard’s film works developing a rich vocabulary of music and exploration far beyond their original intention. Once they made their debut with Dutch Schultz, ZXE was asked to play at the inaugural NY Festival of Light in 2013, and then to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2014 NYFOL. Working with Howard Ungerleider, longtime lighting designer for Rush, ZXE presented an audiovisual extravaganza with a spectacular light show under the Manhattan Bridge. ZXE aslo performed at the Filmmakers Cooperative Benefit along with Laurie Anderson, John Zorn, Philip Glass, and JG Thirlwell. In 2015, ZXE provided the musical soundtrack for Valkyrie Octopus by the celebrated Portuguese artis Joana Vasconcelos, at the MGM Grand Casino in Macau, China.

Their first live performances were in art galleries, avant=garde cinemas, and performances spaces in New York City. The music grew from these performances, and in their studio. Their music is recorded in a small studio in a heavily industrialized, dirty, noisy, section of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The studio is surrounded by metal refuse companies that day and night haul heaps of metal and junk from torn down buildings into dingy, contaminated yards. Amidst this cacophony they record their music. They recorded all of their rehearsals and treat those recordings as malleable material to create worlds both serene and disquieting.
