i'm looking for a hard-style-rap singer, male or female, who likes to lay down vocals on my new song in progress...

it's a hard experimental-electronica-track that needs vocals based on the title "Shaolin Zombie Killer"...

the song is still under construction, nevertheless you can hear an early version here:

shaolinzombiekiller vers 0_2_6 (modified version!)

i'm a non-profit-organization. everything i do is for my self-esteem and for some hundred zenmetalophile listeners out there in the USA, germany, malaysia, switzerland, canada and china! we both can publish and share the once finished track wherever we like as long as we respect and credit the originality and ourselves, the authors of the work.

contact me if you want to know more!

i want you to know that i use no preproduced stuff. it's 100% zenmetalshirt till the last bit.

so if you're the right one it will burn their speakers!

looking forward very much to collaborating with you!

i'm glad to announce the new collaboration with the multi-instrumentalist kamal sabran from malaysia: the track "Hard Variations on Daun-Daun Gugur featuring Kamal Sabran"

let me quote kamal about the collaboration (from his blog on http://kamalsabran.blogspot.com/):


it is an exciting adventure to work with such an extraordinary artist; he led me into a musical field that was quite new for me...

so if you're into weirdness, electro and musical u-turns enjoy the result of our project :)

give me feedback! i love to hear what you think!

btw: you will hear the words "daun-daun gugur, ranting ranting mengering" several times. it means something like "the tree is dying, falling down". kamal recites a poem from the malaysian poet rahmat haron titled "isim tiga musim"....  in the end of the long song you'll hear the whole poem, distracted by some drum'n'brain noise :) that's of course the last of the "Hard Variations"


PEACE

°the state of peace before i die° is not meant to be negative...it is just my attempt to express how i'd like to feel the moments before my life ends. it will, i'm sure. and i wanna be peaceful than. i wanna be in peace with my life; with the music i made, how i raised my children, how i loved my wife, how i listened and talked to the people i met and how i educated my students.



please dive into the sounds, try to find your inner peace with my song...the inaudible breath of my life.

a german musician from pulsar-records.de said, it is "the finest of sound art..."



i hope you will like it too and if you do like it, please tell me, i will give you a free download link.

if you're interested in electronic music, in ableton live, in how king coat aka zenmetalshirt puts his songs together, then join me on facebook (i'm king coat there).
you will have access to the download of early versions of my tracks in progress before i publish them on myspace...

(well, it's only my very own tracks, no collaborations, remixes or interpretations of other people's work because i think they have the right to be the first ones listening to what i have done to them) :)

why this?

because i believe the act of making music is timeless process, a flow where every stage in the progress has it's own life, it's own sense. so the mood, the groove of a song often changes very much from the beginning to the final version. and as long as i'm not bound to any label i totally free to do that.

i started some slow songs and they came out very fast. very soft ideas turned out hardcore. i'm very fascinated by the fact there's an inner voice forming the soundscapes, the soundscapes becoming landscapes of my state of mind in the actual time i'm living in...

well, if you want to share with me, join me there...join "king coat"

and: if you're a musician do the same - i'll be part of your process too!

peace
roy

hey my friends out there...

as you may see i've been quite busy the recent weeks and months.
since i was doing my first real collaboration with panda team (berlin) there's been collabs with pappa thorpe from wisconsin (fugue on terrorism in d-minor, label thy anger, mirrormasked remixed), jennifer thomas from seattle (hartmannswillerkopf), pink noise from toronto (strike & recoil remix), orkan grammophon from switzerland (label thy resistance) and last but not least love sex n death from hawaii (two autumn variations on jedi pimp).
there's a video i did on the moonlight sonata on youtube with 59000 visits this year...(just enter "mondscheinsonate" and it's the first one...)...i'm overwhelmed...
i just got another cd from the panda team by mail and i'll soon start working on a remix of kidnapped. there's a collaboration withjennifer tracy kessler in the waiting line (yeah...how to remix blues vocals...?) and very exciting to me, when we'll both be ready, remixes and collaborations with my friend jen mas from new york...

it seems like 2 other exciting projects in switzerland are just about to be started...they have very much to do with my new song --om-- ...more later :)

yeah, i'm very excited all the time...it's not about success or fame. it's about the possibility to work with such wonderful and diverging artists from all around the world and find fulfillement in adapting their inspirational sparks into my dark world. that's artistic therapy...you know i listen to the songs hundreds of times, feeling them becoming more and more a timeless part of my soul. it's like tatooing my heart in a way. that's why the feelings i had when creating a song intensely jump into my face when listening to it again, no matter how many years have gone since the creation.

i'm addicted to my music, yeah, i have to admit my friend. my songs have become such a strong part of my life they're more and more like a part of my mind & body...

i've been talking to a friend lately about that and i realized more than ever than my fulfillment in music is not in any sense related to any styles, trends or rules of behaviour in the musical world. compare the hartmannswillerkopf with label thy anger with big blocks and the desert with cloudness with om with two autumn variations on jedi pimp with the futur of my kids. there's no relation for many listeners i guess but still it's all the same for me - my world i feel comfortable in, safe and calm. inside the noise i find my personal silence. my childhood, my alcohol addicted father, my evercaring mother who was fond of krishnamurti and yoga, my great family and all the great and gruesome horror and science fiction movies i've been watching much too early in my life...
(you can listen to all the songs here... :)

i need to go on. i know now, 38 years old, it will never stop. never. i couldn't stop it. i keep on running like mike muir does.


i've reached so much with you wonderful collaborators, good souls i've been discussing with around the globe (e.g. chris from iron giant who kindly calls me "a deep motherfucker..." ), jake a. wheat from streetblastradio (who gave me such wonderful feedback and reviews), inspiring bands and artists!

i love you

peace
