About Me

About Comitatus: a watershed of new shiney sparkly gems by HER GART with BARDACID of Walking Cow in Florence, Italy and KRAUTIOPHARM of M.E.K.K.A., Augsburg, Germany, now in record mode with Ultimate Producer... KRAMER ...!________________________________________________________ ______________About Her Gart: Los Angeles based poet, Louise Bialik, began fronting a nerdrock art group called THE PHLEMGH PHATALES when she was 16, and was often found at the ANTI-CLUB and THEORETICAL SOCIETY, juggling acts between HAIRCUTS THAT KILL, SAVAGE REPUBLIC, SANDBOX and 17 PYGMIES. She circulated the LA clubs and participated in a number of stage shows including Theatre Carnivale, Anaphoria with Kraig Grady, and spontaneous art performance with Peter Sellars. Louise studied Poetry under the direction of Stephen Yenser and JD McClatchy at UCLA, as well as Javanese Court Gamelan dance under Miroto Martinez. She collects Occupied Japan figurines, is vegetarian and likes smooth flowing pens._______________________________________________________ _______________About Bardacid: Florence-Firenze based micro-musician & guitar player. In his normal life is a Research Doctor. Ex - member of indie italian bands like DUM DUM POWER and MIRABILIA. I play and record my music using different instrument: - Arp Solina - Casio SK1 - Siel Cruise - Acetone Beat Box - Gullbransen Teeny Bopper - Commodore 64 - Casio RapMan - Casio CT-510 - Red Poland Lap Steel Guitar - Casio Vl1 Tone - Casio Pt30 - Yamaha Portasound - Eko 6 & 12 strings Guitars - Roland Tr 626 - Suzuki Omnichord - Elka Capri 101 - Eko Tiger Duo - Bontempi - Korg Poly 800 - Stylophone - Galanti Piano - Gibson, Fender & Rickenbacker Electric Guitars - Stomp boxes and devices - Reason - Pro Tools ____________________________________________________________ ___________About krautiopharm: I started making music in the early 80s in several bands from Avantgarde New Wave (Wahnvorstellung) via Electronic NDW (Schatten unter Eis) to Psychedelic 60s-Punk (The Trivial Heroes). In my "real life" I am a screenwriter but music is still my favourite waste of time. After almost 20 years of musical silence I thought it was about time to start a new project. It is called "krautiopharm" and tries to build a bridge from German 70s Krautrock to modern electric chill-out/dance music (you'll find the link in my Top 8 friends list) ... but as I still like to slip in "my oulde dancin' boots" to do the John Travolta every now and then I've recently begun working on a new project ... The Discodelic Orchestra ... I hope you'll enjoy the music - and life too, of course! Peace, Michael ...
