μ-Ziq (pronounced "music") is an English electronic/IDM project. Originally formed in 1992 as a duo of two former Blue Innocence members Mike Paradinas (keyboards) and Francis Naughton (bass). Francis Naughton left in late 1993, and since that time μ-Ziq became a solo project of Mike Paradinas.
With a unique blend of electronic and IDM genres, μ-Ziq has been captivating audiences for decades. The brainchild of Mike Paradinas, this English artist has been pushing the boundaries of music since the early '90s. Known for his experimental soundscapes and intricate compositions, μ-Ziq's music takes listeners on a sonic journey like no other.
From ambient melodies to glitchy beats, μ-Ziq's discography showcases his versatility as an artist. His ability to seamlessly merge different styles and create complex arrangements sets him apart from his peers. With each release, he continues to challenge conventions and explore new sonic territories.

Mu-Ziq's Challenge Me Foolish. Available here on LP.

"Challenge Me Foolish" is something of a companion to the Royal Astronomy record; arguably even better given the fresh ears selecting the material. It's imbued with a confident sense of pastoral colour, and a gentle optimism, utilising bells, studied orchestral arrangements and airy synthesisers that sit the album somewhere between, Jean Jacques Perrey (the French electronic composer whose whimsy was always balanced with serious innovation and chops) and the colourful, optimistic soundtracks of Joe Hisaishi. There's a strange sense of the old and new throughout, the sentimental and utopia, with nary a hint of darkness. Even when the album dips into the hyperkinetic rhythms of jungle, the melodies and mood still retain a sense of gentle warmth. Dive into peak time Paradinas.
