Remembering the brilliant artist and bassist Mick Karn of Japan, Dali’s Car, Rain Tree Crow and more on what would have been his 64th birthday. RIP (24 July 1958 – 4 January 2011).
Mick was one of those players with a unique style and is best known as the bassist and also played woodwind instruments, mainly clarinet and saxophone for Japan. Mick moved to the UK from Cyprus in the early 1960s and met the three other founding members of Japan at school in London. Inside and outside Japan, Mick developed a distinctive and original bass sound instantly recognizable as his own. Mick was mainly a self-taught musician and many feel he changed the perception of how the bass is played and heard forever.
After Japan, Mick worked in many areas of music, experimenting in jazz, ambient and prog, and continued to create his own indefinable music as a solo artist and in collaboration with other great musicians, including Gary Numan, Midge Ure, Kate Bush ex-members of Japan. For a taste of Mick’s work solo, look for his first solo album, "Titles" and the Dali’s Car collaboration, 'The Waking Hour'.
