Mick Nye pieces are usually pretty intense, but even though they can be very dense, they give a magic or ecstatic feeling. The samples here are from new songs, being put online in various arrangements as they get invented.
The music is composed (scored), not sampled, and we aim at live performance with a base of 5 - 6 musicians and electronics. Currently, and probably until 2009, the music is played in a smaller line-up with electronics, video and soloists.
Our live concept consist of a mix of shorter pop songs, and longer electronica mix'es with video played non-stop over app. 2 1/2 hour; and you are absolutely not supposed to sit down all the time, we want to attack the dance challenge too, but in a different way.
Visit www.micknye.com it is going online little by little. 3 releases will come out this spring and summer, the titles have been changed a bit since I last wrote here about them. I have a lot coming for you.
Female voices: Emma Morin

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/31/2007
Band Website: micknye.com
Band Members: Michael Nyvang - composition / computer / mix , and editing this page :o)
After completing my studies at the Royal Danish music academy I worked within experimental and contemporary music, got amazing reviews from the critic and recieved several important grants and so on. Now living in Paris, I have put a question mark to the concept of music genres, insisting on that all is just music, and that we should see it as a whole in order to let the music evolve freely and without borders. For me the genre is sort of a Berlin wall in new music.
Charlotte Guibé - video
Charlotte has recently completed her studies as a painter and video artist at Ecole nationale supérieure des beaux-arts. She recieved in 2005 a the LVMH 2005 award for the video "Sinoïdoscope". She and the designer Praline Le Moult currently work on a documentary about contemporary artists in China, and her paintings has been exhibited in several galeries in France as well as China
Emma Morin - voice
Emma Morin is a french actress. Emma has participated in productions for France Culture on Andreï Tarkovski, Jean Le Corbusier and Dante. She has performed in several plays and experimental films, latest under the direction of Philippe Grandrieux.
Benjamin Koppel - sax
Benjamin is one of the most outstanding and award-winning young scandinavian musicians today. He released his debut-album when only 19 years old, and has since then recorded more than 12 albums with his versatile and border-crossing ensembles. His cross-over-ensemble Mad Cows Sing was nominated a Grammy (in Scandinavia) 1999 for best new classical name and his jazz-albums have had a marvelous following by both audience and media.

Also to come
Dino Trifunovic - guitar
Female vocal, violin, drums, bass and keyboard or thereabouts
