kikai (jap./kanji) means “ocean of energy”.
kikai started as a solo-project of Marius C. Hammerich to be a place for musical creativity. since 2005 it evolves more and more into a solid project with musicians from around the world participating.
while making music for fun the target of kikai is to support social projects by donating and raising money.
this finally became clear and public while preparing the recordings for 2009 album ‘buruu’.
an idiosyncrasy of kikai is recording all instruments live except that drum- and percussion-stuff.
so no use of sequencers at all. honestly one should be told that sequencers are used on recent album “buruu“.
the music of “Kikai” is inspired by machines and sounds from the early age of synthesizer music - freshed up with ambient and sonic elements.
participating musicians so far: Kimberly Keck (lyrics, voice), Knut Habicht (guitars), Marvin Ayres (strings), Christian Purwien (lyrics)
