about
The Mirror Conspiracy (TMC) is an ensemble inspired by art, music and adventures. A bold approach of a musical puzzle, resulting in a crossover of various music styles like trip-hop, jazz and rock mirroring sketches of impressionist art in a cinematic-noir feel. A dreamy collage of colors. The music is fragile and elastic, structured yet free. In the autumn of 2007 good old friends carefully started rehearsing amongst the twilight of Rotterdam (NL) after a couple of years holding their musical silence. They played together in Hyphen, a psychedelic postrock band from the nineties. They were up for new brew. After various sessions with different wonderful musicians, the outlines became clear. Mike Bindraban plays on red and dark blue sounding keys, Nikos Paisopoulos plays his bass loosy goosy and Patrick Verdonk plays various guitars. Together the TMC sound was born, joined by Esther Vroegindeweij on electric and acoustic violin and the subtle Martijn Groen on drums. Early 2008 the band released their first (instrumental) recording called 'Live at Lantaren/Venster' improvising music for the documentary-film Microcosmos (1996). The EP was received with acclaimed confusion. Is it a conspiracy? A black and white film perhaps? In 2010 the band completed their sound with guitarist Angelo Franzen, cooking up new brew the future beholds. Compositions are rooted in solid sketches with added colors, abstract storylines in free and arranged layers with a subtle but solid base. TMC uniq
