Mitote was ordered in 2003 by National Swedish Radio P2 for the 40th anniversary of EMS, the electronic music studio in Stockholm.
Mitote is a piece of Electro-Acustic Music blending the aesthetic from EAM and noise art with electronica and the repetitive beats from the today's club music.
The process of composing is a musical search and a way of expressing within a genre that the composer is not very familiar with. Finding where the inner music is coming from. Mitote is a concept from the Aztec culture and it means "inner voices", those inner voices that makes every person's life a constant struggle between making the easy choices and making the difficult ones, to do what needs to be done despite fear and lack of self-confindence. For most artists, Mitote is very much about doubt. Creativity can sometimes be paralyzed by self-criticism. The best you can do is to become aware of these voices and to make friends with them. They will never be quiet, i can only choose not to listen.
