Today's piano meditation took me into some vast, uneven lands and terrains. I  heard birds singing and felt falling rains. It was light and then dark and then light again. Sometimes it's good to improvise while being tired, so that your control is even less possible. Only the piano has a voice here.

The illustration is a close up view of my 2023 large-scale drawing Inverted Explosions II, in which the materialities and fluidities  of resin, water, graphite powder and dry pigments, all consolidate into wholeness, becoming the inversion of something once exploded, dispersed.

Zen Flutist teams with FAUST, TROUM, and Limpe Fuchs for "Ambient Koan". Viz Michael Kremietz's 16th Album Blends Ancient Buddhist Practice with German Experimental Legends


ABOUT THE ALBUM

Ambient Koan represents a profound synthesis of three decades of experimental music exploration and 25 years of Zen practice. This 16th studio album by Viz Michael Kremietz emerges from the liminal spaces between breath, sound, and meditation, anchored by the ancient voice of the Shakuhachi flute.
The album weaves together solo compositions originally created for theater and performance with collaborative pieces featuring some of Europe's most innovative experimental musicians. Each track serves as a sonic meditation, inviting listeners into "unknown dimensions with pre-verbal and pre-symbolic origins."


ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Viz Michael Kremietz is a German experimental musician, composer, and Zen practitioner whose work spans over 30 years in the fields of experimental music, ambient soundscapes, theater, and performance. For 25 years, he has practiced Zen Buddhism and mastered the Shakuhachi (Zen flute), studying the traditional Hongyoku music of Zen Buddhism for eight years.

Kremietz's artistic practice centers on the Shakuhachi's uniqueability to make breath audible, combining breathing, music, and meditation into a singular transcendent experience. His performances have taken him to sacred spaces worldwide, including the burial chamber of the Great Pyramid of Cheops and Aleister Crowley's former abbey in Cefalù, Sicily.

Based in Wangen, Allgäu, Germany, Kremietz continues to explore the intersections of Eastern philosophy, experimental sound, and consciousness through his prolific recording and performance career.

@africa5 🤝 @xdjchudx

The club fucked up not playing my song, but you knew that from Something’s Wrong
Put her squirt, weed and DMT all in a bong
And I become so teary-eyed as I hit it, tryna chief it all strong
You bitch boys ain’t nothing like me, y’all Diddies to my Donkey Kong

No, nigga, you can’t hit it and I won’t let you, if you don’t get lost
Lets say you’ll leave this bitch vaccinated when I leave you with all types of shots
Fuck your girlfriend and then I’m pouring me and her glasses of Ciroc
That’s just how it is, but like Kodak, that I don’t flock except for when I write the songs

I’m not tryna have yo pussy ass mad in my inbox after I fucked her raw, keep it Lo Key when I make a Hoe Call
It’s always fuck the law and every cop until the curtain calls, I’m the type to go butchermobb on a piglet over something as simple as a motherfuckin traffic stop
Just stepped out Littlest Pet Shop with Miu Miu shades on, a nigga always skipping school to play ToonTown Rewritten with the lights off but ya know I still got the Givenchy Rottweiler on
She just popped a 30, same color as Andrew Dobson, I’m finna kick her ass out the crib, son, we blow kush, not just pop any random drug

Iced Venti Matcha and Monster chugged down, I’m finna puke my guts up
Monster High what I’m feeling when the pack is all smoked up and done
20-carat dick rings, put my splooge down her throat and glaze her buns
Spit stringin’ from her mouth, she let me fuck her face because I’m DJ Chud, I don’t do coke, I don’t sniff snow-bunnies

Rap game Ken Ashcorp, I really ain’t bummy
I really got money, I’m 20 percent cooler than most of these rap game custies that wannabe me but when they do it, they just a husk, B
They cop and copy off me and straight bottom-feed, these slugs slurp my cock and they leech
A nigga don't talk much but one thing he'll do is slaughter the beat, and boil pots of pig feet if they run up on me from the Krispy Kreme

I ain't sweet nor chatting with any swine, bitch, this doesn't look like Charlotte's Web to me
I've honestly stopped giving a single fuck if I die in obscurity, I'm not gonna let me not being in the public eye get to deterring me, I'm on a mission but it don't mean I need you to see, feel or hear me to accomplish it
Tell these pussy niggas to get off my dick and for they girl to come over here, it's her turn literally and she wants it
A nigga 17 turning 18, IRL I'm celibate but through the wider lenses all I see in this game are my kids, and that's fucking crazy cuz I got 30 monthly which is subject to change so to find me you gotta dig

Goriz Project was created by Sadredin Esmaily and Mohammad Ali Jokar, as a drummer-composer and pianist–tanbur player–composer, respectively. The word "Goriz" means escape; we chose this term because we aim to escape from the fixed algorithms and aesthetics of any specific genre.
We seek inspiration from a wide variety of music, without drawing borders between ethnic, classical, contemporary, jazz, rock, folk, or avant-garde styles.

The instrumentation is also not completely fixed — it can be changed, expanded, or replaced based on our taste and artistic needs.
We are actively seeking opportunities to perform at music festivals worldwide and to collaborate with innovative international and ethnic musicians.
We are also seeking professional producers interested in publishing and promoting our original compositions.
