It's now 10 years since we lost the talents of the brilliant multi-instrumentalist musician, his unusual fretless bass technique at once surreal, exotic and sinuous (4 July 1958 – 4 January 2011)
"I wanted to be able to slide and bend notes as I'd learnt to do with the violin and so decided to take all the frets off the bass guitar. I also began playing bass directly after the bassoon which, although a bass instrument, often plays lead melodies, both of these factors were major influences in shaping the way I play."
"I couldn't help but feel that bass players were always hidden somewhere in the background whereas I was determined to be heard" [Mick Karn, 2009 'Japan & Self Existence']
In 2011, Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine said: ‘Nobody who loved music in the early 80s can have missed Mick Karn. His bass playing was at the forefront of every important Japan song – sensual and stylish.’
Your voice, your face, your hair is everywhere
Today my dreams turned into nightmares
In time, I hate to say it, gentlemen
There'll be nothing wonderful here
There'll be nothing left to fear
All the people see me as a fool
All the people say that it's because of you
All the people like to think they care
If you'd shake their hands and stab them
Maybe they'd become sensitive
Now my life I've spent inside this jealousy
It seemed so easy
I could have your beauty for free
When time decides to take this pain away
We'll find our freedom again
We're still gentlemen
All the people see me as a fool
All the people say that it's because of you
All the people like to think they care
If you'd shake their hands and stab them
Maybe they'd become sensitive
