Artist Biography For Мимо

..Extending These Macabre Themes Is The Moscow Outfit Mimo Which Has Close Connections To The Capital's Sloi Label. As If To Explain That Relationship Or Moniker In Clearer Terms Albeit Briefly The Project's Meager Website Includes A Couple Of Paragraphs Scanned From The Yellowing Pages Of An Old Dictionary. One Of Those Paragraphs Documents The Various Meanings Of The Russian Preposition "mimo" Мимо As Either "by" Or "past " In The Sense Of An Object Missing Its Target. Http //mimo.Sloi.Su
http //soundcloud.Com/mimomusic "Individuality Dissolves In The Flow Of The Crowd" This Imagery Of Disconnectedness Was Already Evident In Other Compositions From Mimo In Ways That Mirror The Anti-Commercial Or Purely Anti-Social Sentiment Of Arktor. Elsewhere We Read Of Some Sonic "journey Into The Heaving Crater Of A Metropolis Where Society Pulses Along The Subway's Veins Like Blood. Individuality Dissolves In The Flow Of The Crowd. Time Breaks Down Like Frozen Matter In The Form Of A Black Tunnel - With The Expectation Of Some Light At The End..." Judging By Mimo's Graphic Interpretation Of The Moscow Subway Map The Likelihood Of That That Light Appearing In The Near Future Must Be Slim Indeed. The Sounds To Accompany Such Worrying Metaphors Are Created With Soviet Synthesizers Samples From "vintage Vinyl " And Other Antique Tools Or Archives. These Include Field Recordings Taken From The Moscow Subway Itself And The Sound Of "dripping Water From The Ceiling Of Some Abandoned Subterranean Room In A Stalinist Hospital." To This We Can Add Other Evocative Clicks And Bumps Such As The Mechanism Of A Kalashnikov Assault Rifle Rusty Playground Swings Steel Saws And Other Noises Designed - In Melodramatic Ways - To Blur The Lines Between Life Love And Death. On Top Of All This Decelerated Clamor We Occasionally Hear The Poetry Of Charles Bukowski Known To Many Western Readers As The "laureate Of American Lowlife." His Intoned Verse Is Then Combined With Some Disturbing And "experimental" Aspects Of Russian Psychoanalysis. Civic Fiscal And Mental Breakdowns Happen Simultaneously. "The Sounds Of Slumbering Centuries-Old Forests Or The Last Abyss Of Existence " All In All We're Informed That These Noises Are Likely To Summon Two Kinds Of Reaction Only One Of Which Appears To Be Pleasant. "In The Process Of Listening To Mimo's Tracks One Can Visualize Either Some Slumbering Centuries-Old Forests Or The Final Abyss Of Existence . It All Depends Upon One's Individual Point Of View." And Yet Despite The Fact That We're Given A Choice Between Biospheres And Death ! It Would Also Seem - According To This Phrasing - That The Difference Between Peace And Eternal Demise Is Actually Small. * Http //www.Farfrommoscow.Com/articles/arktor-Cpb-And-Mimo.Html
