Hi Zvon

I've often wondered......... how do you pronounce Zvon?

Do you sound the Z and the V, or is the Z silent?

I was telling a mate of mine about your M42 stuff, and realised that I didn't know how to say your name.

Just curious.

And where the word "zvon" comes from? It looks just like polish "dzwon" which means "bell" and it does ring a bell. Does it have slavic roots?

Good point: Have you tried some of his sample-sets...you can hear the bells ring sometimes: Great work!

The Z and the V together as one sound. As Zombie Queen guessed, it has slavic roots. I am francophone but I studied russian and I took the name from there. In Russian it means sound and more precisely, sound of bells or bell ringing.
