CINIMA

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.

CINIMA and Mirs - Sleepless - improv sessions

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.
