Mimesis is a new recording project featuring the poetic words and
voice of one of Australia's most prominent singer/song writers, Steve
Kilbey (The Church) and the stunning complex ambient music of
Melbourne based producer Simon Polinski (Hesius Dome/
Ornament) along with Colin Berwick (Big Country), David Abiuso
(My Friend the Chocolate Cake/Victorian State Orchestra) and
guest musicians, Geoffrey Hales (Rip Van Hippy), Ollie Olsen &
John Kilbey
mimesis is finally finished
a album of atmospheres
dark beautiful music
words from dreams
ebbing flowing receding washing
coming on again
stronger stranger
music so full of sound
hidden things
things fizzing and squirming
falling and shivering
distant contraltos wailing
pianos crashing thru icy surfaces
double bass deep in the earth
the stories like life
that dont lead anywhere
you think
all things loop
all opposites reconciled and drowned
in each other
black n white become pains grey
(thats a painting pun)
anyway mimesis art imitating life
its fucking brilliant
and if any smarmy little bastard
gives it a slightly badde review
i'll be donning my bricklayer gear
and coming round yer house
and bricking yer fucking door up!
