Mitamine Lab #70 - Everything Happened While It Was Raining

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

This episode stems from a recent series of dreams. These include amulet messages, jumps between dimensions, showers of candy gummies, visits from family and pets, surreal markets, and healing under rain. Bachelard's L'Eau et les Rêves describes water as the source of daydreams, mixing the everyday with the cosmic. Jung's archetypes help explain the amulets and symbols we receive rather than create. Breton's surrealist automatism supports the non-linear logic of dimensional jumps. Animist beliefs hold that ancestors, family, and pets share the same dream space, finding healing at the edge of rain.

The selection includes Federico Durand's music-box-like temporality, Félicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou's dream-like soundscapes, J and the Woolen Stars' domestic pieces, OMMA & Taiga Ultan's self-dismantled compositions, Brian d'Souza's acoustic ecologies, Shakali's deep-listening phonography (along with Mitamine Lab's latest mix), M. Geddes Gengras's modular unpredictability, Alan Watts's philosophy of dissolving boundaries, and Archypness and Abo Abo, with their sci-fi textures from DE RIO, Florence.
