He was recently featured in Bass Guitar Magazine, the UK's leading bass publication, as well as Bassline Publishing's 'Solo Arrangements for Electric Bass', which includes an interview along with a transcription of his compostion - 'I, Resolute'. In early 2010, Zander released his debut solo album - Sonorous. It contains 10 original solo bass compositions and can be purchased at iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and Bassline Publishing.

Zander Zon’s music has an aching beauty at times. He uses altered tunings (a different one on each track), guitar-like finger-picking techniques and a predominance of harmonics to create an individual style. Classical influences like Bach and Pachelbel are clearly apparent in his writing and playing, but he has a sound and style of his own

Zander Zon is emerging as one of the most notable contemporary solo bass guitarists, with a fresh and engaging voice on the instrument. His debut album, Sonorous stands as a testament to the bass guitar’s potential as a solo instrument.
