Although Mitamine Lab has been a little slow and absent lately, that doesn't mean we've vanished or ceased operations. Instead, we continue to be active, advancing with fresh concepts and initiatives. According to modern author and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari, "music is a form of manifestation, evolution, and resistance." We are thrilled to share our belief in the transformative and resilient power of sound with you today.

We have chosen to incorporate into our performance Mexican axolotls — the fascinating, incredibly rare and elusive amphibians known for their remarkable capacity to regenerate limbs and tissues. We're embracing rarity, resiliency, and the underground vibe, just like these amazing creatures.

To add even more significance to this episode, we've included some promos we've received recently, along with hidden gems we've discovered through ninaprotocol.com. We're returning with a rarer, more underground, and more enthusiastic energy than ever before.

The background image is a painting by Chucho Reyes, one of the most original artistic personalities of 20th-century Mexican visual arts. Antique dealer, decorator, set designer, he was recognized by figures such as Luis Barragán, Mathias Goeritz, Juan Soriano, Paul Westheim, Octavio Paz, and many others, as well as Picasso and Chagall, who admired the inventive strength and the vividness of his painting.

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

In this episode, another round up of top class music and sound from within and around the orbit of the Spirit of Gravity collective. The second hour features the penultimate contribution from the Omnistitional Cultures Research Unit - Omnistitions 5: Transmissions from The Rehearsal Room.

Shahin Entezami, also known by his stage name “Tegh” is a musician and sound artist and practitioner based in Tehran, Iran. In his music, Tegh tries to bring new aural experiences to life by using various audio elements and complex soundscapes. These experiences usually manifest his personal perception of facing new stories, geographies and different situations. The ways he usually tries to express these ideas take root in Noise, Drone and Experimental electronic styles and sometimes manifest themselves in the form of electroacoustic compositions.

He has also released albums and singles on labels like Opal Tapes (UK), Zabte Sote (IR), Hibernate Recordings (UK), Dronarivm (RU), Inner Ocean Records (CA), Midira Records (GE), Futuresequence (US), Flaming Pines (UK), Bitrot Recordings (IR) and more.

Floating Field Research, in two pieces by Gabi Schaffner.

The first piece is Kukka Shop Overdrive (2021). The location: A small kiosk selling flowers and eggs, next to a heavily trafficked road on the island of Lajasalo in Helsinki. The shop has been in the neighborhood for the last 20 years I was told, but egg sales occur only on Wednesdays. They are sold in trays by 40 pieces only.

The weather was gritty, slush and gravel spurted from the cars in the road and form the overall backdrop of the ‘kukka’ shop conversations. The recordings: All recordings originate either from the site of the ‘kukka’ shop at Lajasalo and another flower shop in Mäntta – and finally a private greenhouse in Taiwan. Additional sounds derive from the frying of several eggs and a visit to a chicken shack in Ruovesi to collect more eggs.

Field Recordings and composition: Gabi Schaffner. Voice Taiwan: Margaret Shiu, Bamboo Curtain Studio, Taipei. Chicken: Tyyra Jukka, Ruovesi.

The second piece is Schweben | Floating (2023)

Schweben is an invitation to immerse you in a series of short narratives about body musings. The narratives have been collected on the legendary art ship MS Stubnitz, located at Hamburg harbour. Schweben takes ‘float(ing)’ literally: Guests, passers-by and members of the Stubnitz staff were asked about their experiences in floating or hovering in the air…

Other bodies of water and air whirl alongside, from vitamin tablets to ship ventilators. The piano belongs to the MS Stubnitz. We listen to it in an improvisation played by the crew’s cook, Renard.

Stimmen/Voices: Claudia, H.W., Karim, Jann, L., Mathias, Tina. Piano: Renard. Field recordings: Gabi Schaffner. Other: Ein Zimmer voller Sterne, Schaffner, 2020.

Gabi Schaffner works as an interdisciplinary sound artist and curator. Her artistic practice is determined by the methods of poetic ethnography in connection with fluxus-like mise-en-scènes, radio-making and sound art performances. Much of her work originates from journeys.

Next to her radiophonic productions, Schaffner creates speculative musical genres and inserts them into music history in order to raise awareness for cultural, gender-related and/or geographical conditions. Schaffner has been realising award-winning productions with Deutschlandfunk Kultur, radia.fm, Hessian Cultural Radio and ABC Australia. Since 2012 she maintains DATSCHA RADIO, a nomadic transmission project that links the medium of radio to current ecological issues.

Named after one of my favorite hip-hop pieces (by Mantronik vs. EPMD) and inspired by an enquiry – during an ice-cold dialogue with an acquaintance in front of a vault in an auction house located in central London – about which piece I would never consider selling, this mix is a personal study of my relationship with the financial world of art and with who and how we share our 'art'.
