Luis Zett dealt with ritual singing and the relationship between man and nature in publications as well as in lectures and seminars. From this emerged the esoterically colored books "Being aware of yourself", "Ritual singing", "Singing and being" and "The book of stones".

In the 1990s, together with the visual artist Dieter Kunerth , he performed experimental piano music as well as the performance "Gesang der Steine", where he created rhythms and sounds by placing stones on a wooden, upturned pig tub.

Between 1997 and 2017 Luis Zett published 28 piano books with the Ricordi, Hug and Breitkopf & Härtel publishers, which were primarily aimed at beginners and school students. In some issues, such as "World Records in Piano Playing" and "Colors of Silence", Zett tried to convey experimental and unconventional approaches to a wider audience.
