Baal des Quat'z'arts is a resonant kaleidoscope. Rarely a multi-artist gets to accomplish such a cubist music! Sounds are projected of unexpected retreats, everything becomes a house of mirrors. In the creations of the band - the poet's words are justified in a deafening way, deafening transcendence originating from Joy and (the axiom becomes unfailing): 'Beauty is' really 'a Joy forever!' 
(Caio Campbell; Anglo-Brazilian semiologist and musician) 

"T h e S k e t c h O f A n 
I m p e r t i n e n t P r o l o g u e"

'I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. My soul has grown deep like the rivers. I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young. I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep. I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.' The Langston's words echo in my mind when I try to describe Baal des Quat'z'arts and their creations ... Pristine footprints towards unimaginable places ... Baal is the name of a controversial divinity ... Besides noises, silences, musical notes; O.M. grafts paradoxes, symbolisms and palimpsests in the womb of their music ... If the divinity (that inspired a part of the band name) could come in this context, maybe would - plathian - alert us: 'I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions. Whatever I see, I swallow immediately. Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike I am not cruel, only truthful — The eye of a little god, four-cornered. Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.' Maybe passing through the compasses and over the steel points will go nothing except Baal des Quat'z'arts and Universe Drunks and To-morrow ...' 
(O.K., artist and producer)

"When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, so long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to thee ... The smoke of my own breath; echoes, ripples, buzz'd whispers, love-root, silk-thread, crotch and vine; my respiration and inspiration, the beating of my heart, the passing of blood and air throughmy lungs ...: the Baalian music that flows inside and out of me."
(Omar Khadji/W.W.)

"E Baal era um deus do início dos tempos, tempo em que o bem não havia se separado do mal e tanto o bem como o mal existiam no mesmo deus. Baal tinha duas faces numa só cabeça. Numa face havia amor e na outra ódio. Enquanto amor mirava o Norte ódio fitava o Sul. E logo ódio estava a Norte e amor a Sul, pois, a cabeça girava continuamente. Com uma mão Baal semeava maná e com a outra praga. Eu vi o ciclo dos tempos se fechando." E, agora, se abrindo...

Projeto anti-musical influenciado pela temática urbana dos pequenos e grandes centros da cidade moderna. DubstepIndustrialNoise
Gestalt, palavra alemã sem tradução exata em português, refere-se a um processo de dar forma, de configurar "o que é colocado diante dos olhos, exposto ao olhar": a palavra gestalt tem o significado "(...)de uma entidade concreta, individual e característica, que existe como algo destacado e que tem uma forma ou configuração como um de seus atributos."
De acordo com a teoria gestáltica, não se pode ter conhecimento do "todo" por meio de suas partes, pois o todo é maior que a soma de suas partes: "(...) "A+B" não é simplesmente "(A+B)", mas sim um terceiro elemento "C", que possui características próprias".

Anti-musical project influenced by the themes of urban and small and large centers of the modern city. DubstepIndustrialNoise
Gestalt, a German word with no exact translation into Portuguese, refers to a process of forming, set 'which is placed before the eyes exposed to the gaze': the word gestalt has the meaning "(...) a concrete entity, individual and characteristic, which exists as something detached and having a shape or configuration as one of its attributes. "
According to Gestalt theory, you can not have knowledge of the "whole" through their parts, because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts: "(...)" A + B "is not simply" (A + B) ", but a third element" C ", which has its own characteristics."

I’m a DJ I’m 28 years old I come from a tight knit family. Creativity also runs in my family and I like to be artistic with music I love all genres like my uncle Juan Atkins so I too have an appreciation for Good Music. I grew up in Detroit my whole life and I love my city and proud of the history of electronic music not just because my uncle is the Godfather father of Detroit Techno. No! I’m proud of the Movement that he was a part of creating and the fact that High Tech Soul, Detroit Techno, Electronic Music brings people together from all walks of life, all races, creeds, and ages under a groove, dancing together peacefully. The music is very powerful and it’s internationally nurtured. I want to be part of the next generation to spread the movement of peace in sound so my Uncle Juan knows that everything he did was not in vain

. “Keeping it in the family,” is an understatement because has been instrumental 
figure in the Techno scene since the early age of 8. As the nephew of “The Godfather,” music 
runs deep within his bloodline serving as the resident DJ for Metroplex records. Under the tutelage of Uncle Juan; Aaron, was introduced to the wheels of steel, by compiling his first mix of 
Clear by Cybotron, and Mike Banks’ Illuminator. In addition to performing at “EVERY” Detroit Electronic Music Festival [DEMF] since its conception in 2000, the Cork Town Music Festival as well 
as, various night clubs all in Detroit; at 21 Atkins is well on his way to keeping the family name 
ongoing for decades to come. Atkins’ states “ I want to keep my uncles legacy and record labelMetroplex on the charts with new and innovative music, while following in his footsteps by presenting my music to the world.” This protégé is definitely in the process of doing just that with diligence and persistence toward attaining his goals in and outside of the studio. We should look 
forward to his EP release also collabs from his cousin Chris worthy

I've added a donation button up there. 👆 Let me explain what I plan to do with it: 
I will use every donation under $10 to buy coffee and pay for Soundcloud, for example. 
Every donation over $10 will be collected and, once a certain amount has been reached, used to have a vinyl record pressed. 
I will use donations over $10,000 to buy myself a vineyard. 🤠

Further description and FAQ:
Somehow I wanted to post my old, "chaotic" or fallen out of style recordings here, but I realised that nowhere else can I express myself as freely as in this project.

I don't see sense in nonsense but I see nonsense in things that a lot of people call sense.

I did a lot of music in my life. Did Hardrock, Metal, Psychedelic-Rock, Swing, Jazz, Latin, Dance Music, modern and so called post-modern classic, even playback gigs and did some little film scores also. Everything that either brought some money in the pocket or gave some fun.

I have not studied music, either the conservatories did not want me or, in the other case, I didn't wanted them.
The Zwakkus project was for a long time a kind of discharge of frustration or a valve to let "it" simply flow, without caring about what some client or bandleader will think about. 
It then took me a little time to realize that this project is really unique and true to me and that I can't be this free anywhere. So I'm giving more energy into it and I'm having really fun with it. Knowing that this can't be everyones style, I am extremely grateful for everyone who can get involved!
Also I am very thankful for finding so much really authentic, inspiring and original stuff here on SC.

AI? Can go home! (Actually it can't, because it IS at home already, but nevertheless it should go home more😉)
