eigenartig, dass manchmal die scheinbar einfachsten mittel die wirklich packenden songs hervorbringen. stakato-artig stolpern das zürcher/tokioer-elektro-pop-duo tim & puma mimi direkt ins herz und setzen sich dort fest.

"The Adventures of Tim & Puma Mimi" 2004 free download on alpinechic.net
what the duo Tim & Puma Mimi deliver is a fast and crazy mix of cheerful tunes.
Breakbeat, J-Pop, even blip minimalism and a good portion of happy groove fuse to a sweet, frisky and at times video-gamish 4-song ep.

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.

^^HOW THE SAFTSTUDIOS REFLECT A SKYPE CONCERT!!!^^^
"Someone should get The World Is Flat author Thomas Friedman out to Silent Barn tonight, since this show promises to be a great demonstration of his globe-unity thesis. Tim will rock the dancey beats, as his partner Puma Mimi sings—in Japan. The vocalist performs tonight from her Tokyo apartment, linked to her bandmate via Skype and projected on the wall." Time Out New York, August 2008
TuPM live at womb/tokyo (yes, sometimes we are together on stage in these rare days so called "holidays"... there's no word for that in japanese, i guess!)
...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 50 live shows around the globe.
And here comes the third offical Release:

Hi TuPM, congrats for the new release! ...and for being again part of the "repérages" on Couleur3 (just heard a new sample on it this morning). Always nice to see you going further! Wishing you an awsome party/gig tonight (which will be, no doubt).
Ciao Wir spielen nächsten Freitag 30.Oktober im Exil! Am 30ten kommt auch unser neues Album «Blueskywell» raus! u come? Videoclip unserer neuen Single Number One Kid:
Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel 1e druk uitverkocht – 2e herziene druk eind oktober verwacht
Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel is een boek dat in slechts 4,5 maand volledig is uitverkocht. De tweede druk van het boek ligt inmiddels bij de drukker en wordt eind oktober verwacht. Wie tussen nu en 25 oktober het boek online besteld, maakt dus in feite een reservering voor een exemplaar van de 2e druk. En dat belonen we graag! Wie vóór 25 oktober online besteld, betaalt geen verzendkosten.
Revu: '…. aanstekelijk historische werk…. ' Volkskrant: '… een prima excursiereader, maar ook een reisgids om zelfstandig mee door muziekstad Berlijn te lopen.' Dagblad van het Noorden: Jonker omzeilt de valkuil van betweterigheid en waakt voor een te gedetailleerd informatiebombardement. Daardoor leest haar boek als een vlotte, alternatieve resiids, ...' FileUnder.nl: 'Een must voor zowel muziekliefhebbers als politiek geïnteresseerden.' LiveXS: 'Voor iedereen die ooit in Berlijn is geweest, er nog naar toe wil of gewoon precies wil weten hoe Berlijn is geworden tot wat het is, lees dit.' CuttingEdge.be: 'Al weet je best veel van de Duitse geschiedenis, zo aangenaam compact, met een rode draad, kom je zelden tegen.'
hey guys, you made my day last night at Dampfzentrale! great gig! loved it! pity I didn't see you afterwards. I had a quick look around for you but couldn't find you. and then I fled the scene. see ya some other time hopefully!
