Univers Zero represents one of the longest-living bandsin Belgium. It was established in 1974. Drummer Daniel Denishad the brilliant idea to gather together a team of professionalssharing the same taste for music. The band has adopted an instrumental progressive style. Over the last couple of decades,the band has also implemented a series of influences fromchamber music - most commonly, chamber music from the20th century. Even if the line-up changes a lot over the years,the overall sound of UZ remained fairly consistent.
