An Moku

Biography

Dominik Grenzler is a restaurateur, sound artist and bass guitar player with a spot for experimental and ambient soundscapes. 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’s abstract, cinematic music gives the listener room for imagination and interpretation. His approach is highly personal, as he manages to generate tension with a hidden musicality, drowned in a miasma of organic, yet manipulated, sounds. Dominik’s primary interests lie in simplicity, repetition and the relationship between sound and space. He describes An Moku often as experimental, dark ambientish, glitchy, lo-fi music with a slice of hauntology and atonal madness or if you like: simply something beautiful.

Privately, Dominik Grenzler is living and working in his adopted hometown of Zurich, where he co-owns a café with an artisan cake bakery section known as Miyuko. Since 2015 he is the founder and curator of the micro label EndTitles and EndTitles.Kitchen.Lab concerts.
