Mirs - INfluencer (demo) out now....

This is a Mirs demo track, meaning, it’s a sketch that was only partially finished (look at that damn length!). But, I like it as is for what it is, and so, I decided to release it unofficially.

You can stream or dl it on soundcloud or bandcamp.

Saturday - Mirs (lyric video)

Mirs "Saturday" lyric video just went live. While you are here, please subscribe to the Mirs Youtube channel. For more info on MIRS, please head over to www.mirsmusic.com. Mirs is currently recording the album, RAINBOW SEASON, scheduled for release sometime this summer.

MIRS SATURDAY to release 5/4/18

SATURDAY is the prelude single for the upcoming MIRS record, RAINBOW SEASON. The single will release on all major platforms on Friday, May 4th, 2018.  

This track is extra special as it includes some instrumentation from my old SHANKS AND THE DREAMERS bandmate, Art Toussi. 

what do you know of water’s worth while standing on the banks of the euphrates

(if inclined, please watch the work first...it runs 15min.)

Tomorrow marks the online premiere of my latest work (today for you) which I have conveniently embedded the link in this post. (if you prefer, on vimeo here)

This project functions as both a standalone film and also, a visual single for "Moonlighting MIssion Man", the latest release from my music project MIRS.

Two birds, one stone on the shallow end, a postmodernist twist on a Rene Magritte expression on the pretentious end. Both, equally as valid.

This is the working synopsis or thesis put through a press release blender:  "The film captures an intimate sliver into an Iranian American Sufi Muslim poet (Mahsa Hosseini) as she goes about finding meaning in her life. The visual narrative, shot in a classic cinéma vérité style, provides a strong counterpoint to the hidden, synth-driven, processed vocals in "Moonlighting Mission Man". The video eludes to a dual narrative between the film & the music, though kept hidden from plain sight."

Ultimately, this project started with this question, "Is this a short film or a music video?". And for me, ended with identity. (an ephemeral thing, with real-world consequences). 

But back to Magritte, and equally, Jean Baudrillard. Why is the opening question important to me? Media (and its contents) by in large is an open-ended question nowadays, and while I'm personally working through the details of this new paradigm, doing so with a dichotomous media might be my best way of processing it. What is a film? What is a tweet? How are they different? These are important questions in hyperreality when words have less direct meaning, and content rules all.
