…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.

“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.
