  Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

  • 
  The entire world has been shaken and stirred since Zan Zone put out its last album in 2018. Huge world events have altered the structure of daily life.
  Confusion and angst have ruled, and only by taking stock and moving forward can we leave behind the ennui and weltzschmerz.
  
  Start Where You Stand, the new Zan Zone album, encourages and inspires one and all to march towards a new paradigm. The title song strips down the war machine; Bad Dreams recalls the disturbing uncertainty of lockdowns, quarantines and ecological destruction; Watchin’ The World Go By digs right into truths that are so often obscured in our current world, and I Won’t Live A Lie makes a point of standing up for what one truly believes in. That’s just the first four songs.
  
  Album number five for Zan Zone brings back Philip Dessinger and Arianna Burnham on vocals, Saadi Zain on bass, and Zan Burnham on guitars, and adds world-class drummer Marco Djordjevic, and grammy-nominated vocalist, Angela Watson-Modeste. Along with seasoned engineer Chris Benham, this ensemble spent over three years perfecting the project. Many hours were spent getting the instruments to really augment each other, inspired by many great classic rock trios. Coupled with awesome singing and instantly engaging songs, SWYS is ready to inspire the whole world into action. ”Without a doubt it’s the most amazing project I’ve ever been involved in - and the most difficult. The times have been hard.” said Zan Burnham, Producer and main songwriter.
  
  The project began at a rehearsal in March of 2019 when Philip brought in a new song he’d written with long-time songwriter and musician, Joe Raposo. (Joe’s father, wrote many of the classic songs for Sesame Street. )That song, Start Where You Stand, blew Zan away and when Marco enthusiastically suggested they record it, an album was born. The band had been primed over the previous two years with regular rehearsals and gigs. At Brooklyn’s Big Orange Sheep studio, where seasoned engineer and owner Chris Benham has built one of the best studios currently in all of NYC, two songs became twelve, and out of the mud of humanity came this powerful work, an album for a new way and and a new time. MARCH ON! START WHERE YOU STAND!
