"Zenihilist" is the new album by Chris Sigdell (b°tong, BU.D.D.A., NID). It marks 20 years of research in the obscure and ambient world of hostile soundscapes under the name of b°tong.

"Zenihilist" playfully sides nihilism with the mystic teachings of zen. The title is not only a word-play on zen and nihilism, but also a pun on an ordinary German's pronunciation of the English word "the". His songs display a wicked sense humour and rely much on the concept of instant spontaneity - or composition on the spot.

"Zenihilist" took form over less than a year and was made with guitar, synthesiser, samples and voice. It continues the soft ambient approach introduced on 2023's "A Fleeting Moment Of Superabundance". Nihil is zen is nihil.
