MiDi BiTCH – HABITAT

Rodrigo Passannanti:
„A great album that journeys both outward and inward, much like a mirror reflecting the listener’s unspoken inner thought with pure mesmerising energy flow orbiting between mystical worlds“

Michael Brückner:
„The concept of the excellent new album by midibitch on Cyclical Dreams immediately made me think of a couple of others – Jean Michel Jarre for example had a single out in 2022 called „Brutalism“. Tangerine Dream’s „Le Parc“ is all about different parks. Robert Rich’s „Gaudi“ about the work of this architect.
And Vangelis‘ daring (though unpopular) „Beaubourg“ is also inspired by a huge and ugly building (or so the master said…).
Vangelis is also the first musician that came to mind once I started to listen – already the first track has vague Blade Runner vibes.
Then again, over all the album reminded me more of Vangelis‘ „The City“ than of his famous soundtrack.
In the end though it turns out that comparisons don’t really do this great album justice anyway, and MiDi BiTCH’s sophisticated and highly evocative mix of „classic“ and contemporary electronica stands very much on its own.
Therefore, I can only recommend to listen.
After all, writing about music is like dancing about architecture anyway, isn’t it…?“

Frans Lemaire – MICADO:
„What a great Album. The style is fascinating and each track tells a story, inspired by the iconic Brutalist architecture around the world. I love the artistic Journal.pdf included in the download. Fantastic total approach of the Album. Very well done.“

Habitat is a conceptual electronic album by MiDi BiTCH inspired by iconic Brutalist architecture around the world. Each track is named after a monumental building and functions as a sonic translation of concrete, mass, repetition, and social utopia. The album treats architecture as a living system—a habitat where futuristic ideals, human presence, and decay coexist.

MiDi BITCH – HABITAT

Concept & Liner Notes
Drawing from Brutalism’s radical honesty and material clarity, Habitat explores how visionary structures embody both collective hope and isolation. These buildings are approached as symbols of a forgotten future: part social experiment, part cosmic monument. The album positions itself within a futuristic, transnational mindset—echoing a “cosmic international” where borders dissolve and architecture, sound, and ideology merge into a shared vision of humanity.

Production
The album was produced entirely in the DAW Bitwig Studio, using The Grid as a modular environment. Modular signal flows, generative MIDI structures, and evolving patches form the backbone of the compositions, mirroring architectural systems and spatial logic. The sound design emphasizes raw digital textures, controlled repetition, and structural minimalism without external hardware.

Transcendence
Beyond documentation or homage, Habitat seeks transcendence: from the functional to the metaphysical, from local structures to a universal future language. It imagines Brutalism not as a relic, but as a signal—broadcast from an unfinished future still waiting to be inhabited.

MiDi BiTCH wishing you happiness, love, health, inspiration, prosperity and good luck and much inspiration with whatever you are doing. May we all grow beyond the inner and outer limitations that are keeping us enslaved, and be able to make this world a better place, for all.

MiDi BiTCH – NEKYIA

After the last album “Sommernachtstraum”, MiDi BiTCH went silent for a long time.
This silence was not absence, but descent. In Homer’s Odyssey, nekyia names the ritual journey into the underworld — a confrontation with the dead in order to continue living. In Jungian terms, it is the encounter with the shadow: what has been repressed, fragmented, or left unheard. Nekyia emerges from this space.

The album is the result of a prolonged inward movement — passing through disintegration, repetition, and re-formation. Sonically, it moves through raw electronic structures, ritualistic rhythms, and fractured vocal traces. There is no narrative comfort here, only process.

This is not a continuation of Sommernachtstraum, but a threshold.
Like Odysseus, the return is altered. Like individuation, it remains unfinished.
Listening requires time – so does coming back.

Mark Jenkins:
„I’ve been listening, and „NEKYiA“ is very good. Rather dark, and sometimes challenging, but very good.“

Frans Lemaire – MICADO:
„This album brings a new style in the MiDiBiTCH portfolio. Very interesting sequences and voice atmospheres. Great album . It’s EM innovation. Congratulations Fredy. Favorite track: Integration Pending.“

The release includes a 34-page booklet with illustrations for each track and chapter, extending the album into a visual journey.

NEKYiA is not a myth — it is a psychological space.

NEKYIA is a deliberate descent into the underworld of the psyche, where sound replaces language and structure begins to dissolve.

The album traces depth-psychological states of dissociation, confrontation, and symbolic death without offering comfort or resolution.

It is not a promise of healing, but an invitation to remain present while the self loosens and something older speaks.

A Sound Ritual Through Shadow, Dissolution and Re-integration

This album follows the mind’s journey through darkness, trauma, and healing. Drawing from Jung’s shadow work and the Tibetan Book of the Dead, it traces the moments when identity dissolves, when the ego falls silent, and something deeper emerges.

These are not tracks — they are thresholds.
They ask you to feel, not think.
To listen, not interpret.
To transform, not escape.

//\\//\\ I. Descent //\\//\\

1. Treatment of the Shadow
Initial exposure to previously repressed material. Subject reports pressure without identifiable imagery. Increased internal noise. Defensive interpretation absent.

2. Depth Descent – Subconscious Exposure
Ego orientation destabilizing. Unconscious content surfaces without sequencing. Subject unable to determine origin or relevance of material.

3. Ego Integrity: Compromised
Boundary weakness observed. Sense of self intermittently fragmented. Difficulty maintaining coherent internal reference point.

//\\//\\ II. Confrontation //\\//\\

4. Affect Flattening Protocol
Marked reduction in emotional differentiation. Stimuli perceived without corresponding affect. Protective dissociative response suspected.

5. Dissociative Passage
Subject reports distancing from experiential center. Observational awareness maintained; embodied participation reduced.

6. Shadow Content Identified
Recognition of disowned psychic material without emotional engagement. No attempt at integration or resolution noted.

//\\//\\ III. Emergence //\\//\\

7. Self-Concept Instability
Persona structures deteriorating. Autobiographical identity inconsistent. Ego function appears secondary and unreliable.

8. Memory Without Narrative
Memory fragments present without temporal order. Recollection experienced as sensation rather than personal history.

9. Integration Pending
No synthesis achieved between conscious and unconscious material. Individuation process remains incomplete.

10. Residual Symptoms
Post-exposure effects persist. Altered baseline awareness noted. No return to prior psychic equilibrium.

VISUALS

The Video Art of MiDi BiTCH

MiDi BiTCH VISUALS

The visual world of Midi Bitch is built on tension between control and collapse. Glitch, compression artifacts, and digital residue are not treated as errors but as expressive material — forming a raw, fragmented aesthetic that feels both intimate and unstable. The style often merges low-resolution textures with stark, symbolic imagery, creating a space where the synthetic and the emotional bleed into one another.

Conceptually, the work circles around identity, transformation, and the body as signal — exploring how digital environments distort, archive, and reanimate personal experience. There is a recurring sense of descent and return, where visuals feel excavated rather than produced.

The intention is not polish but exposure: to make visible the hidden structures of digital emotion, and to turn technological imperfection into something poetic, confrontational, and alive.

“Midi Bitch Nekyia” drifts through the space between digital decay and ritual rebirth — a fractured audiovisual transmission where corrupted MIDI textures, ghost-signals, and subterranean imagery collide. The video artwork moves like a descent into synthetic memory: raw, unstable, intimate, and mythic at once. Inspired by the ancient concept of nekyia — a journey into the underworld — the piece transforms glitches and electronic noise into a dark cinematic language of resurrection, distortion, and emotional circuitry.

Habitat Visuals explores the atmosphere of digital environments as emotional architecture. The work combines abstract motion, degraded textures, surveillance aesthetics, and immersive spatial composition to create visual habitats that feel suspended between memory, system failure, and dream-state. Images unfold less as narrative and more as psychological space — environments to drift through rather than simply observe.

Stylistically, Habitat Visuals embraces contrast: softness against noise, organic movement against machine logic, stillness against fragmentation. The visual language often draws from cybernetic decay, underground media culture, and cinematic minimalism, resulting in pieces that feel simultaneously intimate and alien.

At its core, the intention is to construct immersive states of perception — spaces where viewers can confront disorientation, emotion, and digital overstimulation in a slower, more reflective way. Habitat Visuals treats the screen not as surface, but as a living environment shaped by memory, signal, and presence.

The visual work of MiDi BiTCH is far more than a supplement to his music. It constitutes independent, audiovisual explorations of the unconscious, in which image and sound merge to generate meaning reciprocally.

His videos are based on an aesthetic of the abstract and the symbolic. Organic forms meet geometric structures, cosmic expanses contrast with microscopic detail. The visual space becomes a mirror of psychic space — fleeting, fragmented, and never fully legible.

On a technical level, MiDi BiTCH combines analog image manipulation, generative visuals, and algorithmically generated effects. The focus is not on hyperrealistic representation but on the deconstruction of perception: blurring, visual artifacts, and glitches are deliberately employed as design elements to address the act of „seeing“ itself.

Central themes include introspection, emotional ambivalence, and the permeability between inner and outer worlds. Visual motifs — fog, endless corridors, eroded masks — often appear as metaphors for the hidden and the unknowable within human consciousness.

Inspired by artists like Bill Viola, the meditative cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky, and the visual austerity of minimalism, MiDi BiTCH conceives of his video work as open spaces for interpretation. Rather than linear narratives, associative structures invite the audience to develop their own images and thoughts.

Like his music, the videos of MiDi BiTCH are experiments on the threshold of control and chance, construction and dissolution — always driven by the question: What happens when we let go of the familiar and begin to see into the unknown?
