Bio
Caural is Zachary Mastoon, a 27 year-old multi-instrumentalist and producer originally from Chicago. Musically "born" in the basement at age 6 with his best friend and neighbor Stuart Bogie (currently a saxophonist for the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra), he's written and performed music
throughout his life in both Transmission (now based in San Francisco), and
the group who became the backing band for fellow Chocolate Industries' emcee Diverse. After studying jazz guitar and improvisation with Anthony Braxton at Wesleyan University, Indonesian Gamelan and Southeast Asian music aboard the Semester At Sea program and experimental electronic music at NYU, Caural briefly returned to Chicago in 2000. His debut CD, "Initial Experiments In 3-D" was released on NYs boutique label Toshoklabs, and was followed by two EPs and a critically-acclaimed full-length for Chocolate Industries, "Stars On My Ceiling." Now back in NY, Caural has finished remixes for artists on Plug Research, Sound In Color, Buttermilk, Delic (Japan), Consumers Research & Development, Level Plane, Audraglint, Subtractive Records, and Chocolate Industries. While finishing up another two full-lengths as Caural, he's putting finishing touches on a vocal-oriented project entitled "Boy King Islands," and a new record with Stuart Bogie under the name "The Original Ultraviolets."
