Y allí afuera no hay nadie, todo lo diría si lo preguntáramos en voz alta; y si se nos escuchase preguntarlo; o si se consintiera en recoger esta absurda pregunta. Nadie, salvo el reflejo difuso de todos los rostros en los vidrios intactos empavonados de nadie. / Fragmento de: La pieza Oscura , Por: Enrique Lihn
ZGA was started by Nick Soudnick and Valery Dudkin (1965 - 2004) in Riga in March 1984. Later the group was joined in by Alexander Zhilin (1959 - 1994), Michael Yudenich, Vadim Petrenko, Emily and Eva Molchanova.
In 1989 Chris Cutler and Recommended Records released ZGA's first LP (Point East PE-02). Thus revealing the group to the world.
At the end of 1991 on the suggestion of "Pushkinskaya-10" Art Centre Zga moved to S.-Petersburg.
After Alexander Zhilin's death the group stopped being permanent. Nick Sudnick has been inviting various musicians for his different projects. Since 2000 ZGA permanent musicians are Ekaterina Fedorova (drums), Ramil Shamsudinov (trombon) and Valeria Kildeeva (violin).
In middle of the 90s Nick's artistic focus shifted from piezo-electric pickups, original sound sources inveted by himself, towards much wider range of sounds.
Since 1999 Nick actively collaborates with Engineering Theatre AKHE and makes soundtracks for their performances.
Sudnick has several side projects. He participates in Vetrophonia, his mutual project with Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Stalnoy Pakt). He has collaborated with various painters and artists. He also played in Sergey Kuryokhin's Pop Mechanics. In 2005 LongArms Records released Delikatessen - the joined project of Nick Soudnick and Vjacheslav Gaivoronskij. Nick's latest project FIGS gathered together Ekaterina Fedorova (Iva Nova, ZGA), Alexei Ivanov (Union of Commercial Avant-guarde, Nado Podumat) and Markus Godwyn (The Noise of Time)
A good disc, I feel calm in the sofa to understand on the sonic transfer that it is given in total and natural unit of thoughts, once the tape goes, the field of colors dances in the distance, a horizon of surge that begins inside if same, for me, an immobile look towards his dance in the air is my form of thank, the life always returns, always it goes away, and there does not stay anything any more than a trip as astronaut.
Un buen disco, me siento tranquilo en el sofá para entender sobre la transferencia sónica que se da en total y natural unidad de pensamientos, una vez la cinta marcha, el campo de colores baila a lo lejos, un horizonte de oleaje que comienza dentro de si mismo, para mí, una mirada inmóvil hacia su baile en el aire es mi forma de agradeser, la vida siempre vuelve, siempre se va, y no queda nada más que un viaje como astronauta.

Un canto del espíritu naufrago en los infinitos segmentos variables junto a la red. Primero que nada, agradezco enormemente sus ganas de sumergirse en las profundidades del "cuadro letárgico", sus comentario son para proceder eternos, reconstruyendo el eslabón, significa comunicación, no era en afán de molestarlos. El post anterior queda guardado entre nos, los que presenciamos el florecer, ahora presente dentro de cada palabra, y totalmente identificado para Galaxie 500.
Un reencuentro, trasmisión rodea calidad y sana el vació, todo sigue atravesando el cosmos y reír se transforma en el medio, una locación para despegar otra vez, jejeje!!. Planeador de alas recogidas, un único cordón, extremidades y movimiento presente en cada tiempo, aprendo a nadar, poco a poco, niño soñador, no te obliga un compromiso con los eslabones, en la igual señal confundirse se torna despreciable y la real razón entre amigos, confronta la verdad.
Otra energía que vi reflejada es una forma pura de unir a los lejanos soñadores, ya antes mencionados, por eso estoy agradecido y todo continua...

A singing of the spirit I sink in the infinite changeable segments close to the network. First that nothing, I am grateful enormously for his desire of submerging in the depths of the " cuadro letárgico ", his they are a commentary to proceed eternal, reconstructing the link, it means communication, it was not in zeal to bother them. The previous post remains guarded among us, which we attend to bloom, now present inside every word, and totally identified for Galaxie 500. A reunion, transmission surrounds quality and recovers it emptied, everything continues crossing the cosmos and to laugh transforms in the way, a lease to take off again, jejeje!!. Glider of quiet wings, the only cord, extremities and present movement in every time, I learn to swim, little by little, dreamy child, it does not force a commitment with the links, in the equal sign despicable restitution and the real reason to get confused among friends, confronts the truth. Another energy that I saw reflected is a pure way of joining the distant dreamers, already before mentioned, because of it I am grateful and everything continues...
