My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 22/08/2006
Band Website: http://www.merj.ch/
Band Members: . . .® aka Niko[la] is born in 1983 in Europe (is that really matter ?) but let's try to be more exact on the spot ; in Switzerland. His music is different sounds going together, working mainly from ~20Hz to ~20'000Hz and he call that "music". Some foreigners or old styled people use to call it "noise" , "contemporary" or "electroacoustic" or "so many other boring cliché" well he decided to call it music as a simple matter of fact : music is music ! His work is destinated to be performed live and almost live only.
"CDs or mp3s are just a exemple of my music, the sound quality of CDs is cheap and mp3 is worst, nothing is better than live, and that's the fact for all music and Art forms."
Real time treatment with a laptop (mostly max/msp) and different analogic effects. Using feedback from numeric AND analogic devices as sounds sources... What more could you need ? So now please listen if you are interested download and try to come hear it live !
Influences: everything !
Sounds Like: ...

Record Label: MERJ.CH & Dadaist Audio
