When the world happens to feel chaotic, wearing the robes - the Okesa or rakusu - of the Buddha is akin to wrapping the world with compassion and benevolence. 

The Verse of the Okesa.

Dai sai ge da pukku/ musō fuku den e/ hi bu nyorai kyo/ kō do shō shu jō

Vast is the robe of liberation 
A formless field of benefaction 
I wear the Tathāgata teaching 
Saving all sentient beings.

This verse is chanted three times after dawn meditation - dawn zazen - in Zen temples across Asia and the West. The intention is to show respect for the teachings of the Buddha, which are signified by the cloth Okesa, before wearing it.

The Okesa is a rectangular garment worn over the left shoulder. The Japanese kesa are made of patchwork (割截衣; kassetsue), composed of five, seven, nine, or more panels of fabric that are sewn together.

Uli Nicholas

With 23 years dedicated to the art of composition, Uli Nicholas (Ulisses Nicolau Alberto Barros) creates music that bridges the gap between classical tradition and modern technological innovation. His musical foundation was built at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), where he studied Classical Music for two years and was a student of Maestro Joca Costa for three. He further refined his piano technique under the guidance of pianists and professors Liana Monteiro and Leandro Rocha, the latter also being an accomplished composer.

A multi-instrumentalist who also masters the acoustic and electric guitar, Uli possesses a unique intellectual background, having studied Physics for three years at UFRN. This blend of logic and emotion defines his eclectic catalog, which spans genres and explores vast themes: from philosophy, history, and pure entertainment and social criticism to environmental preservation.

Today, Uli expands his creative horizons by combining his traditional workflow—composing via notation software—with the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence. His musical production is overseen by Rogério Vieira, a renowned producer in Brazil who mentors students internationally. At its core, Uli's work is driven by a desire to transmit messages of love and hope. His compositions often explore deep spiritual reflections, resonating with themes of faith and transcendent values that speak directly to the soul.

KRT Production is not just a label.
It’s a creative machine that has been shaking the scene since the 1980s. Behind projects like NUR, Funkle Ace, BBAM, Atomium, and more, KRT is the underground spirit that refuses to fade.

Electronic, rock, experimental, alternative — style doesn’t matter as long as there’s raw energy and the drive to make an impact.
Recording studio, mobile production, SoundCloud launchpad: KRT is both playground and battleground, where artists become larger than their tracks.

Joining KRT isn’t just “being part of a label.”
It’s stepping into a family, a free and untamed showcase, ready to make noise in a world that plays too safe.

KRT Production. Here, music isn’t just heard. It’s lived.

I love to sing with my guitar. Love to play my guitar and sing.
I practice Zen too, so sometimes I combine traditional Zen Buddhist chants with guitar instrumentals that I have composed; other times, I just sing a folk or popular song that resonates with me.
