The name "Zoyres" derives from the Yiddish term for fermented
vegetables, "zoyers." These foods have been transformed by culture
and community (of the microbial sort) through incredible biochemical
fermentation processes. These "cultural" transformations underlie
our own cultural development, as human cultures have relied and
reveled in fermented foods for millennia. Zoyres' music represents
the geo-social analogue to the biochemical ferment. Our music, of
Eastern European origin, brined in the contemporary cultural milieu,
is akin to the pickle, still evident in its cucumber origin, but with
a taste and texture transformed.

Our performance will incorporate actual fermented food preparation
and consumption with music, drawing on the "cultures" that transform
and create the music we play, as well as the food we consume. This
should be an edifying, empowering, enjoyable, and epicurean
demonstration of the do-it-yourself possibilities of food preparation.

"Zoyres, a new taste from old world flavors."
