Bio / info

Univers Zéro is a Belgian instrumental band known for playing dark music heavily influenced by 20th century chamber music. The band was formed in 1974 by drummer Daniel Denis. For a time they were part of a musical movement called Rock in Opposition (RIO) which strove to create dense challenging music, a direct contrast to the disco and punk music being produced in the late 70s. Obvious early influences were Béla Bartók and Igor Stravinsky, however the band also cited less well known composers such as Albert Huybrechts, who was also Belgian.
