THE DONATION ZENMETALSHIRT-PLAYER; if i earn 1 million i donate 1 million to the médecins sans frontières!

i really want to change something. i don’t see no sense in selling music for my own profit.

so i garantuee i will donate every cent i earn for the songs in the player below to the organisation "medecins sans frontieres" from today january-21-2008 until january-21-2009.

 so each song you’ll buy will be a direct support for this great organisation (actually 85% of your payment - 15% goes to kazzong, that’s fair).


(please feel free to put this player on your myspace site - every song sold there too will be donated to msf)

THANKS TO KAZZONG FOR THEIR SUPPORT!

médecins sans frontières now support this project! please contact them via their homepage in switzerland if you have questions about my credibility (click here)





WOW! More than 19000 views till june 08! thank you, audience!!!
(thank you, beethoven!)

inspired by the fantastic movie "elephant" by gus van sant, i put together the clip for a theatre-project named "amok2006"; it was shown on a cinema-screen between sequences played by my students. all psychedelic-effects are handmade...don’t know nothing about the pianist. to me it sounds perfectly warm and slow...yes...watch it if you need to slow down a bit...



Sounds Like...it has to sound. no compromise.

   About zenmetalshirt


MySpace Layouts

zenmetalshirt is experimental electronica, industrial, breakcore, metal,ambient.
zenmetalshirt is a one man - music - project formed in 1997. it has grown out of roy’s need to develop his musical world beyond trend-measurements.
his ambition is to produce powerful, straightforward music.
there is no preproduced stuff in his music.

 

a review from streetblast.com about zenmetalshirt in january 08:

...a phenomena emerging from Zurich, Switzerland

...an acquired listen at first, and becomes almost addictive thereafter. It’s the rawest form of acid/industrial...

I have NOT heard anything like this before, and that is refreshing.

...it cannot be compared to anything produced by the like of NIN, Skinny Puppy, or other bands in this class.

In review, would I recommend this music? Sure. This is not sanitized by any means, and the mainstream market would turn up their nose with ignorance to the art form that is this choreographed "noise," simply because they would not be able to understand the vision and depth of the musical techniques involved.

Sophistication is a great word to define the results of "Zen Metal Shirt’s" tracks, only because this is an exhibition of musical genius, and not a sugar coated mechanism to simplify electronic music.

The exploration of sound, in it’s rawest and yet advanced electronic form is exciting for me. "Zen Metal Shirt" is the supplier of that excitement, and while it may be an acquired listen at first, it could be the future of electronic music.

 


listen to the other songs of zenmetalshirt and please buy some for the support of médecins sans frontières on the kaazong player...

the zenmetalshirt donation - player; my ethical commitment

please have a look on the left side for the kazzong-player.

i want my music to make sense - more than just  my personal musical expression, i want music to heal the world in a very practical way. i want to say to all musicians: help the ones that are in need to satisfy their fundamental rights for health. every song you buy will be a direct support for the medecins sans frontieres. 

kazzong will donate 0,50 euro for every of the first 200 downloaded songs!

85% of the earnings for one year will go directly to the "medecins sans frontieres"  - no matter if i sell one song or a billion! I WILL GET NO CENT! if i earn 1 billion, i spend 1 billion, that’s the fact. if you doubt my  credibility please contact "kazzong" or medecins sans frontieres switzerland or send me a message.

after 1 year kazzong will directly submit all the earnings to the medecins sans frontieres.

please install the player on your myspace-site too. your place in my tops will be for sure and all the earnigs there go exactly the same way.

join "my ethical 20 cents" if you want to go further. decide for your ethical commitment now... 

please visit kazzong (click on the logos) or read the blog (in german) on blog.kazong.com.



 

 




january 15.07: fugue on terrorism - collaboration with the great pappa thorpe

pappa sent  22 waves to me; i mashed them up with my live-recorded and looped drumbeats, arranged and send them back...he reorded some beautiful voice over - vocals and out comes the new electronic-industrial-metal-flow-job (go to pappa thorpes myspace-site here)...

...a kind of psychedelic nightmare originated by the overpowering information & fear overload of the massmedia and governments.

invitation accepted! what a talent you have, my bro... the complex, saturated structures behind the melodies grow esponentially into a frenzied intensity that rivals any contemporary classical orchestration! awsome, both emotionally and musically speaking: well done!!

Hey thanks a lot for your invite-interest
in 'Solosonic'.....the link being Pink Noise.

I've checked out your tracks and HOLY
GEEZZ they're flippin' tough! deadly
wicked! I really like 'Label Thy Anger'
and 'Heile Welt'.

I haven't heard anything like this in
a long time....a lot of unique sound,
samples and distortion.

Definitely keep in touch.

Peace & Respect,
