ZERO PIECE ORCHESTRA

Zero Piece Orchestra, a band formed in 2020, marks the long-awaited musical reunion of Drew Duquette and Charles Hromek, two highly talented musicians whose paths first crossed over half a century ago. In 1971, the duo met while still in high school and quickly formed a band, playing local shows in the Flint Michigan area building a loyal following with their unique sound. Their love for music bonded them both, but like many early friendships, life eventually pulled them in different directions. While they went on to pursue individual musical journeys, the impact of their shared musical history never fully faded.

Fast forward nearly 50 years, and Duquette and Hromek reconnected in 2020, spurred by a deep desire to create something new together. Despite the decades that had passed, their chemistry was as powerful as ever. With both having honed their skills as accomplished musicians, writers, and producers, they decided to form Zero Piece Orchestra—an ambitious project that would be an outlet for their creative energies and a reflection of their lifelong love for music. Their reunion was not only a return to their roots but also a reinvention of their sound, merging the influences of their youth with their modern-day expertise.

Zero Piece Orchestra’s music is a blend of innovative songwriting, complex arrangements, and masterful production, drawing from a wide variety of genres. Their style weaves together elements of rock, jazz, and experimental soundscapes, each track telling its own story. As the primary writers and producers behind all of their original material, Duquette and Hromek have embraced a spirit of artistic freedom that reflects the evolution of their musical journeys. With a shared vision of pushing boundaries and making music that speaks to the soul, Zero Piece Orchestra is a project that is as much about rediscovery as it is about forging new paths. The duo’s deep connection and mutual respect for one another’s talents are palpable in every note, making Zero Piece Orchestra a truly unique and exciting collaboration.

Their journey is a testament to the power of music to bring people together, no matter how much time has passed, and the undeniable bond that can be formed through the act of creating together.
