McCloud ZICMUSE, solo
McCloud Zicmuse was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1973, lived in Olympia 1999-2006 but is currently Prince Carnaval of Schaarbeek, Belgium, thy home for the past 14 years
Although proficient in a number of domains: letterpress printing, drawing, sculpture, textile design, pottery, cooking, instrument building, parading, etc... McCloud is known by most as a musician.
Starting out as a mediocre bass player at a middle school talent show in 1986, McCloud has not stopped: fingerpicking the guitar, screeching on the clarinet & saxophone, oompa-oompa-ing on a bassoon, dabbling in piano, strumming a hommel (a traditional Flemish folk instrument), making toots, twangs & snaps on a variety of handmade creations & last bust not least: using the voice. Pluri-form & pluridisciplinary, McCloud produces pluri-genre sound stories: from folk to soul, from jazz to doo wop, from thrash to opera, from electro to drone, whatever it takes to share the message of the ephemeral moment.
This eclectic approach to composition has led to a few projects that, while not well known, are still worthy of looking up on the internet: Le Ton Mité, Hoquets, The Lover BE, Linus Vandewolken & a current project: Prins Zonder Carnaval.
