about

From 2021-22, Phillip B. Klingler (PBK) and Guido Hübner (Das Synthetische Mischgewebe, DSM) began to conceptualize a split-release on cassette tape with the title, "ZIZ". With each side acting as a mirror of the other, PBK and DSM would meditate and reflect on each other's audio creations. The parallelism extends beyond the music itself, both sides bear the same title, "Zeh," blurring the boundaries between the artists' distinct approaches. The dialogue between the artists, as reflected on "ZIZ", reveals not only the power of this interaction but also the potential that lies within the intersections of such diverse inspirations. "ZIZ" is a co-release on PBKsound (USA) and Racourcie d'atom (EU).

"As Leviathan is the king of fishes, so the Ziz is appointed to rule over the birds. His name comes from the variety of tastes his flesh has; it tastes like this, zeh, and like that, zeh. The Ziz is as monstrous of size as Leviathan himself. His ankles rest on the earth, and his head reaches to the very sky... The Ziz has another name, Renanin, because he is the celestial singer. On account of his relation to the heavenly regions, he is also called Sekwi, the seer..."

"It is Ziz, the heavenly bird, created by medieval exegesis and featured among the dishes of the feast of the righteous. It is not present in the Bible or inter-testamentary literature but is often mentioned in rabbinical sources. His name is linked to his food destination by the creative etymology of the rabbis: Why was he called Ziz? Because it has different tastes: the taste of this (zeh) and the taste of that (zeh). (Lv. R 22.10)."
