Ovules is a series of improvisations performed by ZAÄAR in various spaces over the kingdom of Belgium. Ovules is a triptych inspired by Tchouang-Tseu's fable “The Dream of the Butterfly” (莊周夢蝶) about dream and reality reciprocity. Ovules is a surrealist jazz manifestation due to a collaboration between labels WV Sorcerer Productions and Subsound Records and the preacher of the band's first proper studio album.

ZAÄAR is a Belgian collective, twin project of NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM, the cosmic free-jazz orchestra that has been turning the heads of psychedelic, experimental, and space ambient music lovers for the past two years. Composed by singer and multi-instrumentalist Guillaume CZLT, saxophonist Jean-Jacques Duerinckx, drummer Sébastien Schmit, bassist HP Desrosiers and the electronics of Didier Nietzsche, the group produces psychedelic free jazz soaked in droning ambient, which awakens and stimulates old and forgotten senses since humanity lives in a grey and industrialized reality. Through the music of ZAÄAR, we return to a time when everything was new, dangerous, and exciting. ZAÄAR is the reconquest of our wild side; the terrifying and primal roar of a spirit ravaged by magical drugs; the rich sounds of a soul returned to the primordial times, enjoying a life full of wonders and dangers again. Welcome to the jungle!
