Biography
Mikhail Karikis is a Greek-born London-based musician and sound-artist. After studying music in his native country, he moved to London to train in architecture with influential avant-garde architectural team ‘Archigram’ at the Bartlett School of Architecture. He later studied art the Slade School. Mikhail’s work is equally embraced by the concert hall, the club scene, the art gallery and the world of design.
The first international release of his music was by pop-star Björk (Army of Me, 2005) which was followed by his solo music album Orphica on Sub Rosa records to critical acclaim in 2007 and smaller releases on experimental music compilations on various other labels. Coined by critics a ‘sound alchemist’ (Le Monde) and a ‘primitive futurist’ (French National Radio), on his debut album Orphica, Mikhail fused contemporary electronica with environmental recordings and a neo-baroque aesthetic marked by a distinctive vocal style which he calls ‘voice sculpture’. His music has been described as experimental pop, electronica and folktronica and has been compared to the work of Laurie Anderson, Matmos, Kate Bush, Scott Walker, Harold Budd and Martyn Bates.
Orphica music has been received with much enthusiasm by international music press, while music videos from his album have been shown in festivals at BAFTA cinema and the British Film Institute alongside experimental work by Peter Greenaway, Trevor Jackson and Semiconductor.
