Ornaments by Zi iacchos
A sonic journey into the dissolving of form, echo, and self.
Each track unfolds a phase of inner alchemy — where the breath becomes fire, where silence becomes the voice, where fading becomes presence. Rooted in non-duality, this album explores the transformation of death, sound, and identity through contemplative resonance.
From the luminous reversal of poison (Antidote), to the inaudible flame of pure listening (The Vak Within), down through the descent of the inner fire (Brief Descent), into the endless fade (The Fade That Never Ends), then the fluidity without shape (Still Without Form), and finally resting in the silent core (The Silence I Am),
"Ornaments" is not a statement — it is a return.
🎧 Best listened to in solitude, in stillness, without expectation.
Ornaments is more than a collection of songs — it's a living sound ritual.
Ornaments is more than a collection of songs — it is a living sound ritual.
Rooted in modular synthesis, folk guitar, field recordings, and the contemplative breath of 432 Hz, the album unfolds as a subtle alchemical process. Influenced by Taoist internal alchemy (Neidan), each piece evokes dissolution, transformation, and the shimmering quiet of what cannot be said.
This is not just music — it is a grammar of textures, silences, and shifts in presence.
Ornaments is also a foundation for further creation. I welcome collaborations: from sound design for film, dance, or installation, to live performances and contemplative listening contexts (rituals, exhibitions, meditative settings).
Each live rendering of the piece is unique, shaped in real-time with modular instruments, guitar, field loops and subtle gestures.
