About Me

Nihil Project
is an open collective devoted to musical experimentation and artistic avantgarde. Our aim is the exploitation of the spiritual dimension of the cosmos. Nihil Project reconciles past and future in a synthesis we describe as a "coincidentia oppositorum". Nihil Project collaborates with writers, poets, artists, directors to create a new GESAMTKUNSTWERKE.
