Mimer-verb v1.01

If you are working on a remix for the Norbergfestival Remix Competition 2026, here is a small plugin you might enjoy using.

Mimer-verb is a new free Noisebud reverb built from impulse responses recorded inside Mimerlaven, the old mining headframe in Norberg, Sweden.

It is not meant to be a clean studio reverb. It is a reverb with a location, a texture, and a bit of industrial history built into it.

The reason I made it right now is that I am working on the Norbergfestival remix competition again, and it felt natural to turn part of the festival site into a plugin.

Norbergfestival has been around since the late 90s and has become one of Sweden’s most interesting places for electronic and experimental music. The festival grew out of a party in 1999 and has since become a meeting point for everything from techno, drone, drum and bass, gabber, trance, noise, club music, sound art, and more experimental forms of electronic music.

Artists such as The Bug, Pole, Luke Vibert, Fennesz, Pan Sonic, Monolake, Skream, Biosphere, Kid606, Vladislav Delay, and many others have passed through Norberg over the years.

For Mimerverb, I wanted to keep the impulse responses as close to the actual space as possible. The IR files themselves are not EQ’d or processed to create the tone control or width control. Instead, the signal is shaped before it hits the reverb. That means you can add or remove some top end from the reverb, and adjust the width a bit, without turning the captured space into something else.

The idea is simple: make it feel as much as possible like you are standing inside Mimerlaven.

Mimer-verb is free.
