Mycrotom - Ratoratiyo (2021)

A quite unusual album title yet well fitting for this album debut created by mycrotom, because every and anything the Augsburg-based Italo- Canadian Tom Simonetti a.k.a. mycrotom has done throughout his 20+ years spanning exploration in sonic musings is somewhat, well... unusual and well different, in the most positive of all meanings, that is. Starting with him being involved in media- art, education projects or bands like Das Hobos, H and Rhytm Police, his app-focused approach to workshops for and lectures in music production, leading towards his love for 45 rpm records being played on a wrong, slower speed in his DJ sets.

Not to mention the influence of the Mongkong Music Network once co-founded by Simonetti many years ago. An ever growing, meandering network of friends, bands and music activists which makes a camo appearance in the albums catalogue number – MKNG-01.
To illustrate this artistically, a VR music video from Wide Horizon Films was crowd-funded. But this is just a side note.
