Francisco Ali-Brouchoud + Óscar Santis

“Supervolcán”

Supervolcano: An Eruption of Trans-Andean Noise

This record marks an encounter as spontaneous as it is unexpected between two seasoned figures of the Chilean and Argentine sound scenes. Both Óscar Santis and Francisco Ali-Brouchoud have long contributed—almost militantly, through multiple projects—to these niche communities devoted to experimentation and noise, rooted on either side of the Andes, with Valparaíso and Buenos Aires as their epicenters.

The material on this album stands as a clear testament to this ongoing crusade for two very specific reasons: first, it represents the duo’s only performance to date; and second, it was captured live at Estudio Libres, with a small audience sharing the recording space alongside the performers.

These circumstances highlight the importance of intuition, adrenaline, chance, synergy, and deep listening as key elements shaping the outcome of such experiences. Their presence is felt in the atmosphere of introspective tension, suffocating suspense, and explosive catharsis that punctuate the various moments of this free improvisation—later segmented into a series of tracks for this release.

The album title, “Supervolcán”, as well as those of each piece, conceptually allude to the planet’s major volcanic phenomena, particularly so-called “supervolcanoes”: which possess a magma chamber a thousand times larger than that of a conventional volcano and therefore produce gigantic eruptions capable of radically altering the environment where they occur. The sessions evoke fascinating sonic images linked to these geological beasts, which lie semi-dormant along the great Pacific Ring of Fire. The timbral characteristics and frequency range incorporated thus allow them to be easily associated with imagined events such as melting tectonic plates, volcanic radiation, pressurized geysers, rivers of boiling lava, the emission of flammable gases; or even, why not, drilling with heavy machinery, open-pit mega-mining, an environmental disaster in the Andean mountain range, or a hallucination caused by lithium fever.

Andy Nechaevsky – silent night, almost no bombs

Andy Nechaevsky – silent night, almost no bombs

Andy Nechaevsky

“silent night, almost no bombs”

Composed during the night air raids. Andy would simply send his loved one off to sleep after the air raid sirens stopped, then go to his studio to record yet another not-so-jolly lullaby.

This album is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It captures the complex emotions and experiences of those living through war, and how they find solace and beauty in the midst of chaos. The kalimba, with its gentle, soothing tones, serves as a beacon of hope and comfort in these dark times.

Various Artists

“Unsound Sounds of Porto vol. 1”

Unsound Sounds of Porto is a compilation dedicated to experimental music produced in the city of Porto, bringing together artists working in the realms of noise, improvisation, minimalism, and other non-conventional sonic practices. Rather than offering a unified or institutional vision, this collection seeks to open a window onto an underground scene that remains active and constantly shifting, often existing at the margins of established circuits.

It encompasses a wide range of practices — from structured compositions and studio pieces to digital collages, analog and hybrid experimentation, as well as recordings captured in real time. This plurality results in a palette where lo-fi recordings coexist with more refined productions, exploring both the raw materiality of sound and the possibilities of digital manipulation.

As a document, Unsound Sounds of Porto registers a community in transformation; as a listening experience, it proposes a fragmented yet coherent and narrative journey through the many forms of sonic inventiveness inhabiting the city’s interstices.

Tiger A – structure out

[mi342]

Tiger A

“structure out”

It’s another debut in the MiMi Records catalog. From the Japanese capital, we receive “Structure Out”, an album by Tiger A that is truly a work of art, where piano improvisation and the blend of ambient sounds go hand in hand, creating a unique auditory experience.

The fusion of flowing melodies with ethereal sonic textures induces a state of contemplation, where the boundaries between music and visuals fade away. The production is subtle yet impactful, inviting deep immersion.

This album is a testament to Tiger A’s ability to tell emotional, transcendent stories through his piano. An album to be listened to without any reservations.

PIRATE Tapes – The Lost Rainbow Tapes

PIRATE Tapes

“The Lost Rainbow Tapes”

This collection of lost tapes is intended to be a kind of Audio Kaleidoscope. All are total improvisations recorded live by Studio 112 & Ed End (mostly between 2019-2020) at the Cave Haven in Foucherans. Straight after the Shagreen Tape we continued to record more colors. Halas, I have only one life and still so much music waiting to be achieved. So despite ideally we wanted to add a spoken word to one track of each album (and perhaps we lose a few tracks in time) this remains instrumental music. This is a quite trippy collection of bootlegs.

Dedicated to all the lovers of the rainbow LGBTQIA+ struggling for our right to live and be proud of who we are.

Also these 6 improvised albums were part of the netlabel contribution to the netlabel day 2025 https://netlabelday.org/netlabel-day-2025-releases/

Jazzaria – Lost Charm

Jazzaria – Lost Charm

Jazzaria

“Lost Charm”

Charm, lost – innocent. For want of clasp, the charm descended unexpectedly to locales unforeseen. It joins other once-charming brethren, evolving from expressions of personal joy to memories of the strangeness of circumstances. Retrieval is unlikely, but if you do discover charms, remember from whence they came.

Featuring piano, synth, and arpeggiator.

Filipe Miranda – RōSHI

Filipe Miranda

“RōSHI”

A reflection on a world of feeling—human, artistic, and political—through the natural dynamic of the master-disciple relationship.
RōSHI explores the ineffable within this bond, emphasizing a chain of transmission where the hidden essence is perpetually renewed.

The installation (Dec 2022):
Music and video engage with Francisco Trabulo’s work in a timeless dialogue, suggesting a continuous, universal essence where death holds no meaning.

The performance (17 Dec 2022):
Ephemeral sonic elements are added to this ongoing flow, marking a unique moment that complements the installation. Life stories intersect, and transmission occurs.

Recorded live at the Vila Nova de Cerveira International Art Biennial, by Marco Lima (Hertzcontrol)

Note/Thanks:
The performance includes excerpts of Francisco Trabulo’s voice from a 2006 academic documentary by Joana Ferreira, Ana Maria Silva, and Bruno Costa (ESE-IPVC), produced within the Olhar o Real workshop – Ao Norte.

Anomalia Rodrigues

“Fim Do Maio Ou O Princípio Da Incerteza”

“Fim Do Maio Ou O Princípio Da Incerteza” is the latest album release by Anomalia Rodrigues (the project of the multifaceted Paulo Couto) and the artist’s second album with another alter ego on MiMi Records.

Here we have a project of free and experimental improvisation, recorded in a single take with a primitive smartphone and no post-production editing.

This lo-fi work captures the raw and spontaneous essence of sound creation, exploring minimalist textures and dense atmospheres. With six tracks that move between ambient, no-wave, and post-rock. It’s an album that challenges conventions and invites attentive listening.

An album that is a manifesto of artistic freedom and sonic authenticity.

“The Chaining of Cerberus”

GoH-828: Sonic Archaeology – The Chaining of Cerberus

Mythology-themed organic ambience, where synth drones mix with restless distorted guitar and object improvisations melted into two long pieces placed somewhere in a crossroad of meditative distraction, storytelling fever and ceremonial awe. A very special conceptual album of it’s very own quality.
