new projects and a grant for music research

We started in Februar a music research and the production of new material. M.i.p.V got a grant from Musikfonds/Neustart Kultur/BKM and we are in a creative moment, working on new tracks, doing experimental sessions and sonic experiments.

In this new project, the guitarist LauraL (also Laura.aLL), drummer and sound artist Gil Delindro and the multi-instrumentalist Ignacio Villa (from M.i.p.V Pocket) are working together, and for the first time the band will have a different line-up, with three musicians. Ignacio is collaborating with electronics sounds and textures, and Gil will bring more sound effects to the new compositions.

In the next months we will post some new stuff and hopefully we could have time to release new material later this year.

We also celebrate on April 24th.2022 the M.i.p.V’s 18th year.

And we hope to see you all in some gig soon!

Sonic Sound Space and Vorspiel CTM Festival

Guitarist LauraL, now also acting as Laura.aLL, is the head of the project Sonic Sound Space, that since 2019 is creating a new room for experimental music, sonic experiments and experimental art in Berlin. The project will take place on Feb. 12th ad 13th at Galerie ZeitZone, but it will be also live streamed for the world. Different connections in a new way to be online. The relationships changed with the pandemic, or just concretized our distances, and we live in a hybrid world now, live and online.

Sonic Sound Space brings together many artists from the Berliner independent scene, and Laura.aLL will also play on Feb. 13th. Stay tuned for this great lineup:

Feb.12th, Saturday, 8.pm: Afghanistan Mon Amour (Marquadt /Power – accidental guitar, synthesizer, experimental), Elsye Suquilanda & Jarno Eerola (Poetry & electronic music), Agente Costura (electronics, sewing machine/Nähmaschine), Laura Mello (performance, electronics), Llikettim (aka Friedrich Greiling, Mittekill – something experimental).

Feb.13th, Sunday, 6.pm _ Claudius (electronics, experimental), Sofía Salvo (improvised, Sax), Laura.aLL (aka LauraL, ambient, electronics), Korhan Erel (electronics, synthesizers), JD Zazie (experimental DJ, Avant-Turntablist)

Laura also managed to get the project approved in the Musikfonds call for proposals, an institute that funds “contemporary music of all genres in its diversity and complexity”. “The Musikfonds focuses on highly ambitious music that understands art as an end in itself, as an existential-creative necessity or a consequence of an indispensable will to express oneself, and is not commercially oriented.”

Vorspiel CTM Festival 2022 _ Laura.all @ Galerie ZeitZone, Jan. 28th 2022

Laura will present a new concert-installation-performance of her Abstract Shadows series. Dark ambient, field recordings, electroacoustic.

Laura.all leads us through a landscape that is being shaped by each noise, drone, sounds of public spaces, notes and modulations in the midst of delays, distortions and loops, that sometimes reveal a real urban environment, sometimes transport us to a dark, unknown, inhospitable scenario, that reveals itself intrinsic to our daily lives, giving us a new reading of our everyday sounds.

Laura.aLL _ Soundcloud collection

11.11.2011 _ 11.11.2021 _ ten years album’s debut in Berlin

Exactly ten years ago, on 11.11.2011, the album M.i.p.V II was released by Solaris Empire label in Berlin. An instrumental trip rock, minimal, psychedelic, post-punk happening. It was an amazing night @ Kingkongklub, produced by amSTARt. Time runs, other sonorities come, things happen, even a worldwide pandemic has shaken our art making or artistic practice, enough time for new discoveries, inner transformantions, deep listenings, new sounds, new ideas and creations. We are sharing here some memories of these first moments in Germany. (with Marie Leão and Santiago Rodrigues on drums)

album ‘passagens’

The album ‘passagens’, that brings a LauraL’s collaboration with the musician João Desmarques, was released today, May 25th.2021, by the label and collective Associação Terapêutica do Ruído (ATR), from Lisbon, Portugal.

“passagens” (or “passageways”) is the result of an improvisation session at Desmarques’s house on January 2021, taking advantage of another passage by Brazilian musician and artist Laura Leiner (aka LauraL) in Lisbon. The two guitarists met for the first time when their bands, dUASsEMIcOLCHEIASiNVERTIDAS (aka dSCi) and Músicas intermináveis para Viagem (Endless music for Tripping), aka MipV, shared the stage on May 1, 2012 in Berlin.

It was also the first time that they played together and all the themes are improvisations in the “Echtzeitmusik” style (composition in real time). Recorded with a digital stereo recorder, the tracks of “passagens” are in the sequence in which they were created and after being cut and mixed by Laura in Berlin, they are now edited by ATR with the cover by Raf Cruz, Portuguese designer and artist specialized in collages.
