Mirs
VHS SELF-IMMOLATION SIMULATOR
a single channel work exploring the collective narrative from flesh towards code, increasing carbon copy replication & how and where these attitudes originate & are given momentum.

On June 3rd, 2022 I release new Mirs music. This was a collab with my friend CINIMA. It’s a 2track single drop that will be available on all the major platforms. Also releasing that day is the visuals that I co-directed, essentially a video-art piece masquerading as a music video.
The other part of the drop is the album art. Now, this is where storytime begins as taken directly from my Instagram:
i’ve worked in multiple mediums through the years with film/filmmaking being the lead. But in these last few yrs I’ve been on a journey of integration, of taking the disparate & unifying a process, an ideal & a workflow. So, this is why a record release of Mirs includes original artwork that is not outsourced. The same reason that the film I’m finishing now is also scored by me playing the role of Mirs. This all equals a post-compartmentalized nowness for me, an equal amount of art direction and art itself.
Not everything will have this type of vertical, but with the way my world is, with the tools available & with a long practice practiced, it’s possible, & more importantly, it’s spiritual. so, here is spirit; come look, come listen, come feel. 💫❤️
The beauty of the world in its nowness for a creator is the sheer expressiveness afforded by the various tools and technologies available. I can offer you my new music, my new visual, and my new painting, and I can wrap it into one thing, yet, all three of those things can live on their own. This is how I always envisioned the world for the creator to become while working on my craft, as the world demanded separation & compartmentalization. The current has changed, and the water is nice for now.

My friend Nima Rezai just launched a new project called CINIMA. We just released a collaborative single titled Rain (see post below) between his project and my ongoing music project Mirs.
We had previously worked together on CANYON (2016), though I had never performed that album live. Below is a chopped & screwed improv version of the track Sleepless from CANYON, filmed at Nima’s studio.
Clicked up in the studio with my friend & collaborator Nima Rezai (CANYON) recently as he’s launching his new project CINIMA. This is our first collaboration between our two projects, CINIMA & Mirs.
Our first single, “Rain” drops on all major platforms Oct 25, 2019.

My latest album “Rainbow Season” is now included in the Pandora catalog. I personally use Pandora more than either Spotify or Apple Music, as its artist station radio options are great in the car (especially if you live in LA, as you live in a car).
Just another choice….
Mirs & KidGusto’s “Rainbow Season” now on Pandora!
While we initially wanted to release both Rainbow Season, The Album and Rainbow Season, The Film simultaneously, we (KidGusto and I) decided to stagger the releases, with of course, the record coming out first.
The last few years I’ve been releasing films with the records I produce, starting with the release of CANYON in 2016, though I had tried to do it with Spin Cycle back in 2010, but I didn’t have the infrastructure to execute.
Films with music is becoming standard practice to varying degree, and so with this effort, we tried to push that idea further, melding the experience between the two forms in a slightly different envelope.
The first trailer for the new feature length work went live today and we’re having a limited VOD soft release starting on Thurs 07-11-19, It’ll be available shortly after on other platforms, but we priced it to make it a no brainer for anyone interested in an early, ad-free experience. You can of course, buy it to own as well (DRM-Free). It’ll roll out to other platforms shortly after.
(ps: if you buy the film on pre-order (not rent), shoot me an email & I’ll get out the record to you in 320kbps mp3, DRM Free as a bundle. i’ll honor this through the pre-order period as a sincere thank you for the support ;) )
My new record is live!
