Mitamine Lab #31 - Oral Rituals

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

In this episode: by mixing some 2020 favourites with some random gems found on hard discs, Mitamine presents a story inspired by Muriel Barbery’s book The Elegance of the Hedgehog (ref. Mona Achache's movie Le hérisson, 2009) about the ”vacuousness of the bourgeois existence”; a novel I had the opportunity to read during last year’s quarantine - definitely not a must but there are some things I definitely like about it e.g. the play between the two narrators and the constant conversations/self-reflections of the characters. This is also part of a Top 2020 List I did for my lovely friend Julio from Decayed Tapes.
