ABOUT SKYPE CONCERTS:
Imagine there's a little japanese woman,
in a small appartement in Tokyo, singing into her laptop,
getting live transmitted via skype to new york,
video-projected to a wall and amplified to the music produced and performed by Tim.
It's not a dream! It's the f**ing virtual-reality.
Yes: call it globalization, call it Pop 2.0, call it whatever. it's not an experiment, it's not a gimmick-it's a must!
Business Mimi has less than 7 days holiday a year, there's no way to make a tour or something.
Her Boss doesn't even know, that Mimi has concerts in New York before she comes to work in Tokyo!. update: Mimi quit her job half a year ago, but it s not aloud to stay longer then 3 months in a row in Switzerland, every 3 months she goes back to japan. and skype again.
.and the story goes like this:
BIO
Swiss Tim (aka Christian Fischer) and Japanese Mimi (aka Michiko Hanawa) met in the Netherlands at a Saint Nikolaus party in end 2003.
The two drunken people started to talk about music, and discovered both had a musical background. Michiko played in a pop-punk band ("The Gum Drops") in Tokyo, and Christian played flute and keybords in several bands ("Seelenluft" and "Märklin") in Zurich. So Christian asked Michiko to sing to his electronica which was totally unfamiliar to Michiko.
But they succeed!
In ten days, they composed and recorded three songs and one self-remix. This became the first EP "The Adventures of Tim and Puma Mimi".
And since then, the adventures never stops, they recorded songs in Tokyo, Zurich, New York, in trains, via skype, on airports and played over 100 live shows around the globe.
