About
Dominik Grenzler, born in 1977 in Gdynia. Raised on a soundtrack of bubbly 80’s synth pop and early 90’s guitar music. Playing e-bass in several bands in Germany's former coal-mining hub, the Ruhr district, from 1993 to 1995, he gained experiences in a wide variety of musical genres. This is followed by numerous performances with supporting acts for Whitney Houston, Joe Cocker and Marla Glen amongst others from 1998 through to 2001. After a three-year creative break and thanks to his old friend Benjamin Maciej Pawlowski he finds his way back to electronic music. In 2004, they formed the BigBeat/Electro duo known as "Nation of Clang".
Inspired by many experiences during travels, encounters and further training, in 2008 Dominik began with the initial recording sessions for AN MOKU. The sound landscape is formed by synthesizer and acoustic sounds as well as field recordings. The accentuation is provided by tweaks, clicking loops and drones. The result is a lush visceral collage.
The literal translation of the Japanese word «Anmoku» is "tacit, unsaid, implicit" conveying that an idea or thought cannot be put into words but is subconsciously understood. Inspired and animated, with this approach, Dominik gives the listener a lot of room for imagination and interpretation.
Currently, Dominik Grenzler is living and working in his adopted hometown of Zurich.
