MIME Unit is a sound production cum recording studio based in the east of Singapore. It focuses on the niche market of budget recording for bands and musical artists who need quality sounding recordings without the substantially high budget that it takes to fund for such a project.
It does not pretend to be the best there is, neither does it humble itself by claiming to be the worst. It offers what it offers: using good yet affordable equipment, and a decade of sound experience to produce good quality sound recordings that bands and artists can be proud of, yet at a price that is almost as affordable as going to a few weeks of jamming sessions.
If you and/or your bands are students, in full-time national service, folks who earn enough to feed a family but not feed a passion, or just someone who is looking for a cheaper alternative in general, MIME Unit is for you.

Armen Rizal Rahman interest in music caught fire when he first dabbled with audio editing and sound producing during his studies at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. The idea of being able to manipulate sound was fascinating to him, and soon begins the journey that took him further and deeper into the arts of audio. Armed with a minimally equipped personal desktop computer, and a karaoke microphone, he produced two demos in the space of two years (Orbital Nocturne and A Prologue to Genre), under a pseudo identity, Ubermensch...

Ever since the day that I started dabbling into music, the gear that I utilize the most would definitely be my computer. It is basically the heart of my music. Without it, I simply can't make music.
Some may scoff that point. Technology has made it easier, and so anyone now without the foundation of music theory, or skill or practice can claim to be a musician. How can something that's done so easily be called music? How can someone who use the easy way out call himself a musician?
I do not entirely disagree with such a perspective. Music is a form of expression. To express, one needs to learn the language. Hence, music theory gives you the basis of how to speak that language, like how grammar, vocabulary and the alphabets are to English. But does one have to speak English in order to express? Does one even have to speak in order to express?
I do believe that as human beings the need to communicate have driven us to seek ways to get our thoughts across, in whatever way possible. The deaf and mute uses sign language. The blind reads and writes via Braille. A 10 word sentence can be condensed into two words and still mean the same, albeit we factor in the vocal tone, and other non verbal expression of the person speaking it. To me, technology can be the medium or the tool, much like any other instrument. Apart from that it is also a translator in itself. It helps to translate the language of music to something we can understand better, like how English is used to translate the Torah or Koran.
On the other end of the spectrum though, I've met several so called musicians who basically use technology for what it is, without proper thought being put behind the expression. The danger of ready-made music is causing us to be complacent with it. Again taking the example of the holy books; we might able to understand the content because of the translation, but does that mean that we know and comprehend the text completely? There has to be an in depth study and understanding to the content of the books that guided the faith of millions, without which everything that one thinks one understand is a mere translations that may not even be entirely accurate.
Really, there was never a particular rule to justify how we express. As long as what we express gets across well enough, and it was received the way we want it to be received. I mean, if someone were to speak music through quavers and triplets, and I am able to enunciate the same thing in binary numerals, would it really matter how that expression is done?Labels: technology
