Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured during the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion commission in London, this performance by the Music in Movement Electronic Orchestra (MIMEO) is a monolithic exploration of electroacoustic improvisation. The collective utilizes glitch acoustics and spatial dynamics to create a mechanically chaotic yet highly controlled sonic architecture, heavily responding to the physical constraints of the venue.
