founded at april’ 1995 at leiria- portugal, the mikroben.krieg project works in a lot of genres dealing with experimental and industrial music like electro-industrial, power electronics, noise; intelligent tribal, ambient, neo-classic, idm, and so on.
beyond the music, there is a very especific cultural basis with transmission of peculiar ideas and visions of the daily life. directly linked to the cultural coalition "Tec-Knowledge", m.k fuses musical expression with other forms of artistic expression like literature, photography, painting and video, between others.
being a solo project of nelson l brites, mikroben.krieg has the occasional collaboration of: - elisa brites (voice, lyrics) - hugo francisco (musician, live player) - nuno cruz (musician, live player) - rui francisco (performer)
since some years ago mikroben.krieg musical experiments has been dealing with a fusion between etnic elements and futuristic electronic and ambient landscapes. mikroben.krieg don’t work on abstract or impersonal random music: our compositions have always a purpose as well as a message, although sometimes it may not seem clear. our recent compositions include subjects like love, relationships, inner growth and development, moral issues and science.
mikroben.krieg has some side projects, alone or with other musicians: cellular, x-pranto, nociceptor, iron fist commando and dramafall.
ABOUT MIKROBEN KRIEG:
"It’s been a long time now since I’ve been this fascinated by a dark electronic piece that lives on the edge of EBM and ambient. This cut reminds me to Klinik for the sequences and icy atmospheres while a few tribal drums are pushing the song into a very personal writing style! I love it!"
Side Line (Belgium) 2004
"Mikroben Krieg (...) play around with atmospheres and rebounding scraps of noise, although the latter evolves into an interesting slab of electronic sci-fi."
Barcode magazine- United Kingdom 2004
"“Baadsvaran†is nothing else than the confirmation of their talent to create dark atmospheres in between the body style of Klinik and the dark ambient impression of Raison d’Être."
Side Line (Belgium) 2004
"Rhythmically this artist make me think of the coldest beat created by Photek (not that super-structured) but it has also that rhythmical skill of many releases on Planet Mu, the melodies are obscure and have that north european feeling, good."
Chain DLK (Italy) 2005
"Mikroben Krieg fala de terra inóspita, ventos do deserto, apoiada em texturas medonhas, numa voz feminina sussurrada a puxar-nos para o buraco negro. A respiração é ofegante, decididamente pós-coital. Ouvem-se estalinhos herméticos, vêem-se jogos de sombras, como o coaxar de uma rã numa pista de dança. Tem planos fixos e indicativos com registo masculino. Torna-se tudo mais denso lá para o final, a provocar vertigem. Há palpitações nervosas, corpúsculos de som excitados e radiações. Percebem-se esquissos breves de herança da música do Médio Oriente. É um animal hÃbrido. Nas liner
notes lê-se “concrete/digital osmosisâ€. É isso."
