New music from the beyond

2.5D single cover art: a New York subway from the fictitious 2.5D line comes barreling toward the viewer.

Happy heavenly birthday to my dear, deceased, devil brother Pete Zeldman. Today, 5 March 2024, to celebrate Pete’s life…

Lost in Sound Records is releasing an album of solo drums, Enigma, which will keep rhythmic enthusiasts and scholars busy for…well, forever. And ALSO 2.5D, his crazy interesting NYC rock band… [has released] its first single.

Hear that single, written by Pete, performed with fire by 2.5D, and released roughly 30 years after the fact:

Wish Pete a happy birthday on Facebook. You never know; whatever plane Pete now inhabits, he just might hear you.

    Hello Jeff. My name is Ray Franks and I went to Mellon and Mt Lebo HS withe Pete. You guys both come to mind often. I’m a musician (flute and keys like you as I recall), went to CMU to study classical flute. I’ve been thoroughly blown away by the videos I’ve seen of Pete’s spectacular drumming. Wow! He was a real virtuoso. So seeing RIP in recent videos I assume he passed away recently. I send my most sincere condolences.
