Zettalogue represents the documentation of a three-year process of writing, rehearsing,
performing and recording new music. The pieces on the album are contrasting - some
pieces are upbeat and energetic such as ‘Drone Yer Sorrows’. Others such as ‘The Rise of the
Lizard People’ are based on a clave using rhythmic structures derived from Konnakol (South
Indian Classical Music) and West African Music. There is also a melancholic ballad - ‘The
Trouble with Faith’. This reflects Ivo’s own journey with faith. Above all, he would find it
comforting to be able to have faith in humanity. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King: “The
arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
