Mimir – Mimyriad

Posted on September 15, 2010 by cranio

Mimir

Mimir, as described by Christoph Heemann is textural/atmospheric music made using mostly analogue electronics and some acoustic instruments: guitar, flute, violin etc. The project started out of mutual interest toward making textural music and began as tape exchanges between CH and Ka-Spel/Knight that ended up by recording sessions together in Christoph’s studio in Aachen. A 49-minute track of gliding tonal float. It’s possible to hear elements of all three creative axes – HNAS’s piercing, swooping drone, Ka-Spel’s flubbering weirdness, and O’Rourke’s sourceless, motionless sound – but the beauty of it all is the editing [accomplished by Christoph Heemann], which makes radical direction changes seem rational whilst allowing them to somehow return to their proper impact and which juxtaposes many disparate elements, blending them into one seamless, fluid whole. Mimyriad was released on CD by Streamline (STREAMLINE 1001) in 1993.

Edward Ka-Spel is best known as the lead singer of The Legendary Pink Dots. The Pink Dots, a long-running underground band band formed in London in 1980, who now call Nijmegen, the Netherlands, their hometown. Besides his writing for “The Dots”, he has also released countless solo albums, and is part of Mimir and The Tear Garden. His lyrical style has often been compared to Syd Barret of early Pink Floyd fame, but he has transcended this association by incorporating elements of psychedelia, dark folk, goth, industrial, electronic, found noise, sampling, pop, and rock in varying degrees. Dance, China Doll was released as a 12″ on In Phaze Records (HAZ 6) in 1984.

Tracks:

  1. Moments
  2. Even Now
