New Music

flwr; storytime

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.

Mirs - Summer God Complex (Official Visualization 2014)

Here is the visual representation for the MIRS track SUMMER GOD COMPLEX. This video is a digital deconstruction of footage that originated from an infamous, lonely and appalling source.

That source was also the lead-in into the writing process, although it was just a jumping point, a kernel of story that evolved into something else.

The deconstruction of the source footage also plays into an internal, corrupt mind grasping at order, and at times seeing beauty in it's own destruction. The process involved the breaking down of codecs.

Take Away artwork for MIRS new single.

We just signed off on the cover art for Take Away, MIRS newest, and final single of the summer.  The artwork was a collaboration between Ali Sabet and myself.  We did a little art direction together, he did the illustration and layout.​  We still haven't decided which will represent the single on the commercial end, so, send us a shout and help us decide.  You got about a week before we drop it on all the usual suspects.

Now Ali is no stranger to ANIMALS​ (or AYA FILMS).  He did some of the illustrations in both 35 Year Old Man and KHOOBI.  And we are in post on another collaboration, Writers Block in B Minor that is scheduled for a last quarter 012 release.
