Biography

ruído/mm is a Brazilian instrumental post-rock band formed in Curitiba, Paraná, in 2003. The band's name, which is pronounced "ruído por milímetro", is an imaginary unit created to represent that which cannot be described or verbalized, reflecting the experimental and synesthetic nature of their music. The sound of ruído/mm moves between jazz, punk, psychedelia, and post-rock, with compositions that explore a web of sound events, at times calm and contemplative, at times explosive and visceral.

The band is composed of Alexandre Liblik (piano, keyboard, melodica), Giovani Farina (drums), Rafael Panke (bass), Ricardo Pill (guitar), and Felipe Ayres (guitar, electronic effects). Throughout their career, ruído/mm has released four albums: "Série Cinza" (2004), "Praia" (2008), "Introdução à Cortina do Sótão" (2011), and "Rasura" (2014). The group has performed at various festivals and venues across Brazil and abroad, including SXSW in the United States, Coquetel Molotov in Pernambuco, and Virada Cultural in São Paulo.

ruído/mm is recognized by critics and audiences for the intensity of their performances and the quality of their musical productions, which seek to reach the listener in a synesthetic way. The band has been featured in lists of the best albums of the year and has had their music played on international radio programs. With a varied instrumentation and a constantly evolving sound approach, ruído/mm consolidates itself as one of the main representatives of the Brazilian post-rock scene, exploring the limits of instrumental music.
