MIMEO, an experimental electroacoustic free improvisation group, was formed in 1997 by independent concert promoters across Europe. The abbreviation stands for "Music in Movement Electronic Orchestra." Their debut album Queue was released in 1998. Pianist John Tilbury also notably collaborated with the group for the album The Hands of Caravaggio in 2002. MIMEO's unique approach involved members independently placing sound onto a blank CD, which are then compiled into one final recording. This method was notably used on their 2007 album Sight, inspired by painter Cy Twombly. In 2011, the band followed up with Wigry.
