FRIDAY NIGHT

MIMU MERZ (Vienna, Austria)

Working with digital loopers and plugins to process the recorded voices, my vocal performance uses wayward phrasings and introspective lyrics, sometimes mumbled, sometimes pointed out clearly, like a salty finger in the wound of ongoing life. Puns and structures. Patterns and norms. Lofty love and wicked war.

Mimu Merz is a Vienna based graphic designer, media artist, singer and songwriter. Her solo performance “mimu at nite“ was performed with voice, accordion and laptop. Her sound leads in the direction of „electronica“ with several voices, live-looping, spoken word collages and pictorial samples of integrated art work. As a visualist (from 2001 to 2008) she accompanied acts such as DMX, Ellen Allien, Modeselektor, Gustav, Felix Kubin, Iambic Squared, Jake Fairley, Squarepusher and many more. She was awarded SKE Annual Price in 2011. https://soundcloud.com/mimu
