What’s this about?
zensounds is a 100% algorithm- and AI-free newsletter about ambient and experimental music.
It features both electronic and acoustic music (and everything in between), but the focus lies on instrumental music. There will be detours into jazz, post-rock, folk, neoclassical, drone, noise, dub, hip-hop and other genres.
Who are you?
I’m Stephan Kunze, a freelance writer and book author based in Germany.
For 25 years, I’ve been writing about music and culture for various international and national media. My first non-fiction book Zen Style was published by Arkana/Penguin Random House in 2021.
I’ve been leading editorial teams and working as a consultant in the music industry, teaching music journalism at universities, producing and hosting community radio shows, and working on many other projects related to music and culture.
Can I pitch music to you?
Sure! Just be aware that I can’t give feedback due to sheer volume.
Make sure to include with your music pitch:
all relevant information (artist bio, release date etc.)
link to press image(s)
link to streaming preview
HQ music download option (Bandcamp codes preferred)
How do I reach you?
Please don’t send me pitches/music over Substack chat.
Send an email to zensounds [at] posteo [dot] de instead.
